We had that around here a few years back,heard it was distemper.

Yeah its actually K9 distemper. Coyotes help spread it and we have a bunch. Also we have more people here so coons spread it to each other in subdivisions. Also rabies is terrible here. I guess it dont get cold enough but still you hardly ever hear of rabies south of here. I dont know why.

We got way too many yotes up here too guys . You see the dang things running across streets going from neighborhood to where ever. See them at night fighting with coons at the MacDonalds,etc. at the dumpsters out back.
