[venusbluejeans]

it isn't mysterious?!?! you fell out of bed..... you scratched it then or even with your nails

I got a scratch from a cat 3 days ago so I went to the ABTC but instead of worrying from the cat scratch I AM STILL THINKING ABOUT THE MYSTERIOUS SCRATCH I GOT

They give you rabies shots for a cat scratch?!?

Yesterday I got scratched by my neighbor's cat. I'm worried if she has rabies even though last March, I got my anti-rabies vaccine (only 3 shots) Day 0, 3 & 7. Do I still need anti-rabies vaccine booster shot?

How and why are they giving you the shots? You said they wouldn't do it because there was no evidence of a bat in the room

Positive thoughts

Hi, FMP. You wrote last week or so that when summer came we would see more of the rabies threads here, and yup here they come.

I think people are confused about why you are having rabies shots in the first place.

Um Bats don't fly into the house unless you leave a window open with no screen, and I do all the time and have never had a bat fly in the house ever, even when I lived in the country, I had a bat land on my shirt once and just cling there, for a moment, never bit me, they don't just hunt people out and bite, they will hiss a bit and back away from you, now they will bite if you are provoking them, so A) Unless one actually flew into your house, with open windows and no screens, B) If you were provoking one and it bit you. Then you were not bitten by bat, you fell out of bed and scratched yourself, as for the cat scratch was it a house cat or an outside cat, I have been bitten and scratched so many times by cats, never gotten rabies, So not sure why they would give you a rabies shot? Just over a cat scratch, a tetanus shot yes, but rabies?
