Once a year a raccoon's fur will matt and winter fur will come out in clumps. This is a normal process for most, if not all raccoons.
The fur becomes a tangled mess. You can comb matted fur gently with a brush or wire comb. The area can be washed using a soap free shampoo, if it seems unsanitary but raccoons should be completely bathed only once or twice in a year. Provide lots of water and feed fresh fruits, vegetables, chicken, turkey and fish but NOT Red meat. A high protein poultry based dog food can be used; verify it is low or no "ash".
Very best of luck to you all.
