DULUTH, MINNESOTA - After a rash of skunk sightings last weekend, authorities are warning of a distemper outbreak. Over the weekend several sick skunks were reported to Duluth police. Two of the skunks were euthanized. Authorities with the Humane Society suspect the skunks were infected with canine distemper which is a neurological virus that can be transferred between animals through saliva. Symptoms include disorientation and difficulty maneuvering. More detail here [EN]
