A dead raccoon found in Quebec near the Vermont border

 A dead raccoon found in Quebec near the Vermont border has tested positive for rabies, the first report in the province in a decade. The CBC reports that the raccoon was found on December 17 in Saint-Armand, less than a mile from Highgate, where another case was discovered last month. Residents near the border are urged to report any animals that seem disoriented and keep pets’ vaccinations up to date.
