Re: Needing help from the wonderful Squirrel Rehabbers who also take in raccoons
Okay so I buy them in flats of 25, which I don't think you need LOL. But you can buy them in smaller doses.
You're going to need minimum of 4 vaccines for the dog distemper/parvo, many folks used to do Cat Parvo vaccines as well. This year many are just doing the dog one. That's what I'd do as well.
Here is what many use including me: https://www.revivalanimal.com/produc...plies-vaccines
If you only have 1 raccoon then you'll want to try and find 4 single shots. Rabies https://www.revivalanimal.com/produc...sku=30495-1220 I think this is the smallest bottle.
Here is the protocol
upon intake - worm with Nemex, if you see worms in the next poop worm again in 5 days, keep doing the 5 day protocol til you no longer see worms. Then you dose it 1x a month forever.
after the raccoon is stabilized and eyes open, you start the series of Distemper shots. So lets say at 6weeks of age, then you give one at 8weeks, then 10 weeks, then 12 weeks.
When they are around 4 months old you give the Rabies vaccine, then 2 weeks later a second rabies vaccine, if you are keeping the raccoon, you give it once a year if you're releasing that's it. Unless you keep them a year
That's it.
