my son and I found 6 baby coons in the road around 12 am. the mother was 100 ft away dead from a car we grabbed up 3 of the young but 3 got away. I was scratched abd bit by the little guys in the process and of course my Dr. wants me to get rabie shots. I can't imagine those babies would have contracted rabies that young and probably very seldome away from the den.what do you think? I value your opion on most issues. I have raised many coons but for some reason my doc has got me freaked out.....

I belive there has been reports of rabies sitting dormant in racoons through a generation or two before resurfacing in reasearch animals. i would be careful.
