Skunk abroad during daylight hours

Sunday morning around 11:00 AM, neighbors reported a skunk acting out of character on the 2500 block of Catalina. Skunks are nocturnal, but this one was abroad in the morning, walking in circles and seemed disoriented. Sac county animal control was called, but they were closed. Sac city animal control was called, and they provided a phone number to county animal control, but that was closed. An undisclosed person was called and took care of the problem. A disoriented skunk about during the day may have rabies. While this one may have been sick, elderly or injured, it is a good reminder to be careful in similar situations.
