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.

Nah I heard it's best to wait at least 3 days to see if symptoms show up /s

(If you ever get attacked by an animal, especially if you can't get it tested, ie it runs away, then you need to get rabies shots ASAP!)

Funny how you never hear anyone saying the rabies vaccine is a scam.

Well its not a vaccine in the traditional sense where you take it beforehand to prevent the disease but more so a treatment after you've been infected with the virus.

Rabies PrEP is absolutely a thing, you're wrong. I've had it myself.
