I use Dr. Larry from Macafee Animal Hospital ~ Welcome to the McAfee Animal Hospital

He is located in Valparasio, Indiana ~ 3 hr drive for me...and well worth it.

For a very short time I was able to tap into Fitchburg Veterinary Hospital - Veterinarian In Madison; WI; USA :: Home
located in Madison. Dr. Marcus was willing to treat skunks. However shortly after I found him he left that clinic and moved to?????? I have never been able to track him down and the clinic wont release the info. He was rather knowledgeable about skunks and I referred him to Skunk Haven's website, got him listed etc...and then he was gone.

So back to Indiana for me. I have been going there for almost 10 yrs now.

We have a pug in the house, but he is very friendly. In fact, Ozzy (our pug) just jumped into a stranger's car across the street this morning when they had their door open. He's a lover. I will be around most of the time to make sure I can hold and cuddle the baby so that the dog doesn't accidentally knock it over or anything.

Thanks for all of the help!

You will have to know the temperment of the "other" animal to determine if the 2 will be safe together.

unfortunatly raccoons do not make good pets, and are illegal to own. The DNR will seize it and remove it from your home. It might end up at a rehabbers center, it might end up euthanized. All up to the warden who does the seize.
