GREENSBORO — A raccoon found on Buckingham Road is the first confirmed case of rabies in Guilford County in 2012.
The raccoon, which tested positive for the virus on Wednesday, had contact with a dog.
The Guilford County Department suggests that all domestic pets — even animals confined in fenced areas outdoors — should get a rabies vaccine.
