Saw a raccoon laying in the parking lot when I got home tonight, wasn't sure if it was rabid or just sick. It was pretty small, like adult cat sized and just laying out in the open behind (not under) a car. I went up to it to see if it was dead and talked at it but it was unresponsive for a while.
When I finally did get a reaction it kept opening and closing it's mouth. Couldn't exactly tell what it was doing since it was dark and I was a good distance away but there was a lot of mouth movement but I couldn't hear anything. It got on it's hind legs and continued to lift it's head higher while opening & closing it's mouth until it's head tipped back and it fell over. At this point I just left.
Why would a raccoon do this? Was it rabid?

yeah, probably.

Could be distemper which has similar symptoms to rabies in raccoons.

It was trying to tell you the secrets of the universe. You shouldn't have left.

I'm so glad you're going extinct. Worst animal ever.

Not OP but I once called about a spazzing, drooling, obviously sick and aggressive raccoon in my shed. A police officer shows up an hour and a half later, looks at it, tells me they don't handle this stuff(I called animal control, not the police), told me to just leave it alone because 'its gunna die or leave', acted like this was my fault somehow and in general was a dickbag, and left.
What's the fucking point of animal control if they don't do anything?
