Accepted Answer

: The cat should be immunized against rabies as required by law. ( your neighbors may be able to confirm by checking with the local vet). Usually in such cases the animal is quarantined for 10 days, if no signs of disease, rabies is ruled out. Check cdc.gov for rabies transmission. Other common infections remain possible and wound should be watched closely until healed.

Question 10

i live in southern maryland and i have agoraphobia i do not leave for anything. i am sick at the moment . are their any home docs or nurses? help please

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you feel seriously ill and unable to seek help, you should consider calling friends/relatives or 911/emergency services, depending on the severity. Yes, some drs still provide home visits, but this type of service is usually not covered by insurances and tends to be more expensive than regular office visits. Calling a local hospital or a community health center. Get help and get better soon.
