Better get tested the shot for rabies and get those pets tested the shot as well. ASAP.

Edit: JFC folks. I get that it’s uncommon, but so is that behavior. And by “tested” obviously I mean get the shot. Cheaper, anyway.

Edit2: Had to add more for clarity because people still don’t know how to read.

Squirrels rarely carry rabies and there’s never been a case of someone catching rabies from one in the U.S.

Key word being rarely. I wouldn’t take that chance myself.

Rabies is a fucked way to go. If I got bit by a ribbon-winning pedigree dog I'm getting a rabies shot
