Doesn't sound like a Rabies treatment...
Here's the New Jersye Protocol for Rabies Treatment:

WHAT IS THE RABIES POSTEXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS SCHEDULE?

Postexposure prophylaxis begins with a thorough flushing and cleansing of the wound using water and soap.
Following this, a complete course (one dose of HRIG and five 1-ml doses of vaccine) is necessary for adequate prophylaxis. This protocol should not be modified.

1.HRIG - Administer intramuscularly (IM) only once on day 0. The dose is 20 IU/KG or 9 IU/LB. HRIG is currently available in two and ten milliliter (ml) vials with a concentration of 150 IU per ml. At this concentration, the dose is 0.133 ml/kg or 0.06 ml/lb of body weight. Always check the package to be sure that there have been no changes in the concentration. As much as possible of the full dose should be infiltrated into and around the wound(s), and the remainder administered intramuscularly at an anatomical site distant from the vaccine. Do not give more than the recommended amount of HRIG since this may affect the immune response to the vaccine.

2.Vaccine - Administer 1.0 ml of human diploid cell vaccine (HDCV), rabies vaccine adsorbed (RVA) or purified chick embryo cell culture (PCEC) vaccine IM on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28 into the deltoid muscle in children and adults. In infants and small children it may be preferable to give the vaccine in the midlateral aspect of the thigh. All doses must be given. Vaccine should never be given in the buttocks, since two prophylaxis failures have been documented when the vaccine was given in this manner.

Info from: New Jersey Rabies Guide (Dated August, 2001)

Rabies TREATMENT is almost never started IF the domestic pet
is available for quarantine and observation...
They WAIT for 10 days -
an INFECTED pet will die from the disease within that time and
will then be tested.

Possibly Kim was being given IV ANTIBIOTICS ??

And, (THANKS, God!) the IV Treatments are now over!
