Can you get rabies if you hold a baby raccoon that's been in captivity for 5 weeks? she scratched and buried her nose against me, but no broken skin.

Unlikely: Id she has been in captivity for 5 weeks and well, it is unlikely she carried rabies. Continue to watch her and if concerns, be vaccinated. All the best.

Doubtful: Agree with Dr. Cox. It really isn't healthy for a raccoon to be in captivity. Was this an animal rescue? It sounds like the racoon did not demonstrate unusual behavior. Rabies is not transmitted from a raccoon through blood, urine, feces or petting it. It is transmitted by saliva - if an infected raccoon bites you or licks its claw and scratches you.
