A member asked:

Young kitten bit my finger while playing and drew blood. no infection for me, kitten is healthy 2 wks later. should i worry that i contracted rabies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely problem: Rabies post-exposure treatments are influenced by local factors. Local county health departments keep track of regional rabies findings in various animals & the often changing recommendations for treatment. If there are no affected animals in the region for months they would be less aggressive than if there were some found. I would contact them or a local ER for current practices.
