So IMO it's more likely this might be the case. Did it look well? I just googled searched and came up with this link. It's seems there has been an outbreak in TX.......City of Lakeway, TX - Official Website - Signs of Distemper in Raccoons
Our neighbor had a raccoon stuck on their roof. They called animal control to remove it. I would worry about distemper too.
