Kind of in a rabies scare at the moment, because I've played with the kitten, and her saliva has been all over my hands. Also, has scratched me (not bad, just a random few ones), so the saliva did have contact with an open "wound" if you will.
Now, no symptoms of rabies can be seen from the kitten which is between 2-4 months old, but it doesn't hurt to be extra careful. I found her in the back of a dumpster, hiding. It wouldn't come out for days until I started feeding it because it was going to die.
No clue what her history is with vaccines and everything... What procedure should I follow? Take it to a vet first? Consult a doctor? I have no clue. What really scared me is the fact that I started getting a headache 3 days ago, when I started playing with the kitten. Maybe it's a coincidence, or it's a symptom? I've never heard of rabies symptoms showing up within a day?
Regardless, opinions are what I need. Thanks in advance.
