How common is rabies in coon? I’m in eastern Nebraska. This evening had one of my pigs wounded up from a coon. I dispatched the coon and will put it up. But my pig was beat up pretty bad from it, all marked up. But still alive. Wondering if I should treat the pig. Or perhaps euthanize it.

I've heard as high as 30%. May depend on location and how prevalent it is in your area. My advice is talk to a veterinarian.

Kinda random because a lot of it has to do with population cycles. You have to remember that they cant test all wild animals. What the numbers you see reported are mostly specimens that are suspected of having rabies or have bitten someone or a pet/farm animal by local health departments. So thats going to lead to a number higher than out in the wild.If it was actually population rate 30-40% instead of tested animals, it would look a zombie apocalypse out there.

Well it’s not. lol. A thriving community here of them. And I don’t understand it either cause I put up over 100 of them every year and it’s like I don’t make a difference in some of the areas I trap
