his diet sounds good.
I have heard of a raccoons testicle not dropping before. with hope, maybe your raccoon's other one will drop
otherwise like you said the vet will have to do more in depth surgery

please keep us updated.

I have offered Yatzee a huge menu of food. From roaches, small rats, fish, chicken, shrimp, fruits and vegetables. He likes his grain free dog food and a select few of fruit. Is it bad to keep him on an all grain free dog food diet? thats odd, usually raccoons are scavengers. (will eat a variety of...

Hey guys just wondering what age have you guys neutered I'm the first raccoon owner to all the vets in my area and my current vet is learning along the way which is scarey but I wanted to make sure I do it as soon as possible so Behr doesnt feel much of a difference and the changes won't be drastic...

if possible, try the cement mixing pans. raccoons seem to do better with larger pans. if you still have problems after than, try the regular litter. that is what I use. mine are pretty faithful on using them. I actually have 6 litter pans. one large one and the rests regular ones. these pans are use...

PLEASE do not feed him cat food. feed him dog food. small kibbles. I use "taste of the wild" also, some cooked chicken, fruits, a little marshmellows. mine love the marrow bones for a snack. I shop at chewey.com their prices are very good. free shipping and usually the next day. they have ...

never play bite with a raccoon. there are other ways to play with raccoons. play biting encourages biting they think it is OK. icon-sad raccoons do learn words. however, not as quick as a dog. get your raccoon use to hearing "no bite" or something or similar" you can also tap him in t...

I agree with mary and juska. however, in my mind, do wild raccoons have a fair or good life? personally, I don't think so, nor do the foxes and other wild animals icon-sad a fox's life span in the wild is about 3-4 years old, captive is 10-14 years. I see so many dead raccoons on the road icon-sad m...

he could have an infection. a vet visit might help.

what are you using for his litter box and litter?
how many litter pans are you using?

whatever more in depth info you can offer, hopefully, we can try and help.

maybe I should not speak too soon. but, I have not any flea or tick issues in a long time. however, for the ticks, I have guineas. they will eat the ticks. I would assume they will eat the fleas :shrug: I put coconut oil on my dogs and raccoons. for some odd reason, none of my animals have had fleas...

I just noticed you posted in the introduction forum. when you post about your raccoon (for more replies)
viewforum.php?f=91

I will move it once you reply (just want to make sure you find your post first)

forgot to add, you can also feed her grain free small kibble dog food, along with the foods I mentioned. you can alternate the food if you want. I use "taste of the wild", but, you can get what your preference is. actually, I have a "yuppie puppy" machine. I put the kibble in tha...

Momkess welcome to sybils message board. so glad you joined us. lots of great members and good info here. the runny stools could be caused by "baby food"... raccoons don't need that and should not be fed that. foods to try: cooked chicken cut up in small pieces. not real small. enough so y...
