Don't they usually just administer the rabies vaccine anyways just in case? As I understand it, even with the testing they'll give the first dose because there can be bad effects if they wait for the test results before then.
Is the rabies vaccine still extremely painful and consisting of like 30 shots? Or is that outdated?
The squirrel was gonna die no matter what. It couldn't be sent back to the idiot taking wild animals and running an unlicensed online zoo. And it couldn't be returned to the wild. And it had already shown signs of aggression, so it probably wouldn't be accepted by a zoo.
My cousin had one a few years back and said it was very painful. He didn't end up needing more than one shot because the bat that got him tested negative, so I'm not sure how many doses it was in total.
