We've shot at least five skunks this past month and I just came in from outside. there were three skunks just laying there dead. no physical harm was visible. My neighbor said their dog was two feet from it barking and growling and everything but the skunk did nothing. What could be happing? Distemper? Rabies?

I used to work in a lab testing animals for rabies. Something like 80% of the skunks we received during spring/summer had it.
