Spicer's visits as of late have been sporadic. However we've observed that the bite wounds behind his neck and shoulder blades are still healing. He still hasn't gained much weight, yet continues to have a voracious appetite. He's still not bearing any weight on his injured right hind leg. Surprisingly, he's exceptionally quick to escape if needed despite the injury, which is reassuring. Spicer's injuries are typically common among male boars who viciously attack one another during breeding season. We've seen a few other males who visit us show up with injuries, however not to the extent of Spicer's. NOTE: Our rescue raccoons resides in a region where there hasn't been a case of raccoon rabies for over three decades which is tracked by the local public health department. We are fortunate to be able to observe and professional work with a variety of wildlife species since we reside next to a protected wildlife preserve. Our rescue raccoons lounge and play on our terrace as well as use it as a thoroughfare. No children nor pets are ever harmed, especially the wild animals captured in these videos. Please note that none of the raccoons are our pets thus please follow your local wildlife guidelines for the safety of humans and animal wildlife alike. © Weekly Whiskers All Rights Reserved 14-IPH5
