What are the chances that my cat has rabies?
My dog bite my cat. it was unusual since she never did that before. the cat is about 2 months old. i rushed the cat to veterinarian clinic. it's intestine had poped out from it's navel. they stitched it up and instructed me on how to take care of it. while i was moving her it bite so hard. it was in too much pain. after a while it died. not only am i devastated that it died i am know worried that i might have rabies. what are the chances that the cat has rabies? its a stray cat. we bottled feed it until it can finally eat solid food. i have not heard of any rabies cases in my area. is it possible for a pregnant cat with rabies to transfer it to it's litter? thanks...
Answer:
Did you vaccinate your dog and cat for rabies? Usually urban pets are vaccinated, so it's pretty rare in the US, we actually get rabies from rapid squirrels, bats, and skunks more often than dogs and cats here in the US. Rabies IS fatal without treatment, so you might want to get a shot from your doctor since you don't know if your cat had it or not.
The cat died from massive injuries caused by the dog bite. I doubt that it had rabies. It bit you because you inadvertently caused it pain when moving it. It's okay. Just don't let the dog get anymore cats, okay?
