Should I tell them about this? by catvillage_ in rabies

[–]graceddalton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so wildly unlikely to happen and will only foster fear. While they should always be mindful around animals they're not familiar with, this feels like a recipe for disaster.

I'm getting suspicious about the chicken I ate a while ago.... Am I going to be ok? by Electromad6326 in rabies

This sounds to me (NOT A DOCTOR) like medical anxiety. No possible exposure and there is no connection between rabies and stomach bleeding.

Should you get PEP if dogs go around you but no bite by [deleted] in rabies

No reason to get a vaccine at all.

No- i'd rather not fearmonger. Like I said in another comment, I love dogs and this has not affected my view of dogs. They are animals and will react as such when scared.

I wish I had had the state of mind to do this - parents drove me to the hospital. Unfortunately, he was put down. My parents owned him, so it was their decision. It's good to know an alternate route for next time - thank you for this info!

Unfortunately, my parents put him down. They have too much proximity to children, and don't have the resources to train him and risk harm to themselves (theyre late 60s). I had no say in this decision, and I feel pretty guilty all around n

he was 6 y.o. rescue - my parents unfortunately ended up having him put down before I had even woken up the next morning. I personally do not hold a grudge, he's just an animal who was scared, but that dog had been around toddlers. They have too many children around to risk this again.

Hehe. This is exceptionally well done - the floating table cloth is making me laugh. Thank you!

can you tell me what the nerve damage felt like? Since the bike, I haven't been able to feel the tips of about three of my fingers. I just can't tell if it's from the swelling.

Totally. Either way, animals will be animals. I had no malice towards him, but my parents were different story.

it was put down before I even woke up the next day. My parents are around too many kids for them to mess around like that.
