Kentucky Nurse Saves Drunk Raccoon With CPR
It kind of doesn’t get more Kentucky than this…– A Kentucky nurse saved a drunk young raccoon with CPR. Misty Combs found the little guy unconscious in a dumpster filled with rainwater a few weeks ago. She guessed he snacked on fermented peaches discarded by Kentucky Mist Moonshine Distillery in Whitesburg. The peaches had been soaked in distilled alcohol for making peach moonshine. So the poor little buddy passed out drunk on moonshine peaches!
“I would say that he ate the fermented peaches and he fell over drunk into the water,” so she pulled the raccoon out and performed compression-only CPR until water came from its mouth. They took him to the vet and he recovered and was released the next day!
