Today at the rescue, I was bitten multiple times by a feral cat. I went immediately to the doctor. I am on Amoxicillin TR-K CLV 875-125 MG tabs twice a day. The cat has been quarantined and will remain so for ten days to see if the cat has rabies. It had received a rabies vaccine the day before, but that is not enough time for the vaccine to take affect.
I have read several places that no human has caught rabies from a cat that has been quarantined for ten days and is still healthy (CDC and Wisconsin health website.) The state I live in requires the ten day quarantine, after which the cat will be seen by a vet to test for rabies. I certainly hope the cat is OK, as rabies is a death sentence. Also, I would rather not have to take the rabies shots.
Can anyone else think of anything that needs to be done?
