Last week my cat caught a chipmunk. I went outside to grab it from my cat. After that I took it inside to show my wife to see if we needed to take it to the wildlife center and during that time it got loose in the house. After the Tom and Jerry escapades of me chasing it around I caught it. When I went to take it outside it bit me. Now I can’t escape the anxiety of contracting rabies from the bite.

Why don’t you consult with a doctor. They can tell you the best step. That’s what I did when I had an encounter with a bat. Really help put my mind at ease
