Scratched by stray cat?
I was scratched by a stray cat who had been hanging around my house about two months prior. I may have been bitten too but I’m not sure I don’t think so, but it’s possible. The cat had not seemed acting strange the two months prior and obviously not rabid. But now I am so paranoid. The scratch was provoked I guess, and was mild, but it’s still there.
The risk is understandably low, especially in my state (Mississippi) there has only been one case of confirmed cats with rabies in the last 50 years. But I’m so paranoid at the “what if” here. This happened 1 day ago. I don’t know how to proceed with this.
Doctor gave generic antibiotics and cream for the scratch. Sai
