Raccoon update: Animal Control has not caught the raccoon yet. They also said this is their baby season so there’s lots of protective raccoon mamas out there which might explain the dog attacks. They have no way of knowing if a raccoon has rabies unless they catch it and test it.

That means kill it.
There is no testing that can diagnose rabies in a living animal.

Well, if they catch it and it survives for more than 3 days, they can certainly rule out rabies...

At this point there’s also the possibility that they find its dead body somewhere and can test it.
