Forgive me if this is the wrong forum to post in.
So for context, I have a lot of health anxiety, as will probably be evident. If you read my last post, you will know I have recently come into the care of yet another stray kitten found within a car engine (she’s doing alright, by the way! Just some roundworm and a URI but is on medication. ) I know this may be a tad unreasonable, but is there any reason to be concerned with rabies? My vet is curbside only at the moment so talking with them is fairly brief but they said that I needn’t worry as the kitten didn’t show any neurological symptoms but alas, here I am. She scratches and nibbles playfully though nothing that breaks the skin and I have quarantined her to the bathroom and I change clothes and wash my skin like a madman after handling, but I still worry about the risk. Does anyone else share these worries when it comes to stray kittens and if so, how do you deal with them?
(Also, off topic, but this medicated eye gel might be the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever had to do in my entire life!)
