A sick baby raccoon has been removed from Greenbrier by Lexington Fayette Animal Care and Control.  The raccoon tested positive for distemper.  This is a concern because distemper is highly contagious to pets.
According to LFACC, as a homeowner, you are responsible for the removal of any uninjured nuisance wildlife in your home or on your property.  LFACC can offer assistance with sick or injured wildlife or with wildlife animals that pose a threat to the community.
Wildlife tips:

• Remind children of the dangers of approaching wild life.
• Secure pet doors at night.
• Never feed wildlife.
• When feeding an outdoor pet, always remove any leftover food.
