Thanks for the good addvice and pm's. I am waiting in the ER to be seen for my Animal bight. Waiting it out was a bad idea. Thanks for talking this hard head into being smart. Now for the hours long wait.

You will be glad you went in instead of waiting. Hope the cat can be found so can avoid the shots too.

Hopefully you have a speedy recovery.
Animal bites are no fun.
The nurses were amazed a gray fox bit me. They wouldn't start rabies shots unless the fox tested positive. They gave me 4 shots

Maybe I missed something. Did you submit the fox head for testing?

Providence you did the right move going to the ER
Here praying you heal quickly with no complications. On a more serious note,
Has anyone checked on the cat that bit you?
It might need some serious medical attention too ya know!

By now I think you have been reading what happens with rabies bites, especially with distal contact zones.
So you know the drill what happens with this virus that attaches nerve endings.

Having a Dr. that has been trained in rural India or Pakistan would be the best since they see numerous cases in their training

Good call!

Might try and live trap the cat so you can keep an eye on it for a few days.

Yes thats why I drove to that one even though there are a few closer. They always seem much faster. Been there twice gettibg fish hooks removed from the boys and once with the wife when she had BP issues. Fastest ER I have ever seen. But then again the last time my youngest broke his jand we went to one in Louisville becuse that one specileized in hands. That one was very fast also. Maybe its becuse there are so many or maybe it has to do with covid. Either way its bette4 than a 4-6 hr min like where i used to live.

He seemed not intrested rabies. But thought a stray it has been around the barn and on the farm for some time. He is about 3/4 wild but my youngest could mess with it .(soft spot for cats) So it is a semi known animal maybe thats why?

Pushed on it this morning and when it finally opened it shot me in the face. I washed it took my pill with a bananna and went with the boyst to check traps this morning.

Looks like todat ma be goat baby day. Getting heat lamp and kidding stall set up now.

And no the cat does not need any medical attention. Well he may need some shots after bitting such a foul critter like me. I will have to keep an eye on that he may need to go to the vet after all. wink

I hope in a few days this thing is better. Probabbly take a few weeks though.

If I were you I’d confine the cat and watch it for a few days. A critter with rabies in its saliva will usually show symptoms and or die with in 3-4 days.

I am surprised that the cat is not being tested for rabies.

My advice is if the daughter is going to be playing with the cat, get it some shots

Not worth risking her health

So you risked the 50/50 wit no rabies shots?
I would have insisted. Who cares if the Doctor was not concerned about rabies. Wow. This time you may have beat the odds but if you were wrong You were dead, Not the doctor! That's bordering on malpractice.
