Somehow my cat (Chairman Meow) caught a goddamn BAT inside my house?!
I rescued the bat but it nipped me.
Now everyone I know says I need to get rabies shots.

That's why I had to get them. There's even a CDC program to cover the shots if you don't have insurance.
The ER may have to do research. That's ok! Just get the shots.
The good news is that they're not painful anymore! They used to SUCK but I had to get them last year.
First dose is two shots: one vaccine in the arm, one immunoglobulin somewhere else (mine was thigh due to dosing). You have to go to the ER though.
The follow-up shots can be CVS.
Yes, you should get a rabies shot. Now.
If anyone else in your home came into contact with the bat, they should also get rabies shots.
Chairman Meow should also be taken to your vet for a rabies shot.
When you take your kitty for his shot they should fill you in on quarantine protocol as a precaution, even if he wasn't bitten.
Chances of infection are low, but infection is a death sentence. A horrible one.
Or just wait it out and see if you become a vampire first...
Also a cave with a cool car in it.
Just kidding! I am not RFK Jr. I'm hoping you've had a shot by now. I had them as a kid when they couldn't find a cat that barely bit me. On the plus side, you'll be immune from rabies for a long time.
Go to the hospital, or get tied to a pole. 😂
Meanwhile take the bat for testing to determine if the initial shots need to be followed up to complete the protocol. Do not wait for test results to start treatment.
Oh Heavens no, you've transformed into Rudy Ghouliani! 😱
Will you share if you become a vampire?
I would ask the question.
Most of the rest is sarcasm.
Yeah, take a nap. Odds are low - but be informed and don't put it off tomorrow.
GO‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Important that the medical coding is done appropriately or you might be holding the bag for the cost .
Look back at the responses. You worried people. They were scared FOR YOU.
Why didn't you say you were on your way then? Did you need entertainment for the ride there?
Rabies is deadly. Once it sets in, it is damn-near impossible to cure.
