Sid,
There doesn't seem to be rabies in the skunk or fox population in Nova Scotia. However, the dogs and horses have had their shots.
The only smell I deal with at the barn is horse $h!t.
For several years momma skunk has raised 4-5 little ones there with (aside from Colby, who doesn't see) no problems. We do get a smell when they get killed on the road, despite the driveway being 1/4 mile long.
I must admit it is inconvenient some evenings, coming home and finding a skunk or two foraging in the grass alongside the driveway, but I am semi-retired and not in that much of a hurry.
Best
Les
