Phred, I do not want to get toooo specific but the racoon was tested by animal control and was positive for rabies. The two-legger doc can report the incident with humans but does not have to mention dogs or cats being involved. I have been to the CDC Web site and done much research since Saturday. At the vet there were exams, rabies boosters, wound treatments (yes, wounds from the coon) antibiotic injections, Mometamas 30 gr, Amoxitabs 400 mg and tritop ointment. All that for follow up treatment at home. One does not have to be bitten to need the care, it's the saliva from the coon itself or from the dog fur when there was contact. My son had direct contact but Jenny & I were holding dogs back and perhaps had indirect contact. Jenny is calling the two-legger doc this morning. Thank you for caring. The amount due at the vet included my multi-pet discount AND my "old lady" discount*being old does have some advantages*
