Oh dear! I'm sorry and glad to just be reading this now. Sorry that you are going through it and glad that I didn't see it sooner or I might be bottle feeding some kittens! LOL
How are the other crew of kitties doing?
I hope you come through this ordeal without problems.

Hope you are feeling better today Kim.
Regarding the cat who "got" you - surely if he is ill then it is far better for him to have been trapped and treated or PTS if necessary than live a long and torturous life in the wild?

But Denise - if no one claims him in three days, he is PTS and THEN the tissue is tested for rabies.NO diagnosis, no treatment.

That sheds a whole new light on it - talk about doing things the wrong way roundIt would have made a lot more sense to test him straight away so everyone knew what they were dealing with

Needs a helmet!
Probably a good thing you started the shots Kim. Glad they weren't too bad for you and also glad to hear you are getting help with the bottle babies.

I remember hearing about the head of a dog being sent off from a shelter to be tested for rabies 20 years ago and thinking it was so gruesome. I'm so surprised that they haven't come up with a new way of testing but it seems that they haven't yet. I don't know enough about it but it seems that the brain is the key for determining if the animal had rabies or not.
Praying that you feel better soon Kim.

Well, I guess we could have waited and just sent MY brain in for testing. Poor kitty!
