As an aside, in that process I learned that raccoons are a FEDERALLY PROTECTED SPECIES. Even very aggressive ones that are defending my yard against ME. Wouldn't let Mr. B back on the property until I came out with a light and a BIG stick. You have to have a 'professional' trapper (we did - $225), and he has to have a "good" reason to trap, like proof of property damage. I told them I could present a $1,000 vet bill -- un-uh. Don't care about your pets. Or your tenants. The trapper took the money and did the job anyway. <br /><br />Best to YOU, my friend, in connecting with suitable doctors. That's quite hard now. More prayers.
