I have been feeding and caring for a feral for 8 years. She's about 9 years old now. Until last Saturday she lived outside in or under a shed. Hated to be shut in anywhere! But, after the first year of patience, she trusts me enough to get into my lap. Loves to be petted. Again, in the past, as long as she had an escape route and I did nothing to startled her.
When she arrived Saturday evening, she followed me into my mudroom and got into my lap. I discovered she had two large and nasty looking puncture wounds on her back. Long story short, she is now (Monday) in my basement. Due to the weather the earliest I can get her to the vet is Wednesday. She has not had a rabies shot since 9/2011. Under state law she will have to be quarantined for 6 months.
Any suggestions on how to care for her short-term an long-term (6 months)?
