Hey Summer, is your son okay? I had something happen with an unvaccinated cat owned by a neighbor where I got scratched by it while trying to save it from someone in my apartment complex who was abusing it. I also had some open cuts on my legs which the cat may have gotten saliva into as it was rubbing it’s head against my legs and feet when I was petting it. I went to the ER and they wouldn’t give me the rabies injections even though they know the cat is unvaccinated and my neighbor hasn’t responded back to me regarding asking her and/or her sister to monitor the cat for ten days and let me know. Only if the cat is sick within the ten days or dies can I get the vaccines. So I totally understand your worry, it’s terrifying right? Especially if you’re saying that that animal had all the symptoms of rabies. That’s wrong, they should’ve vaccinated him on the spot. And me as well since I know the cat is unvaccinated, there is still a risk and if I as the patient want the treatment since I’m worried about it, I deserve to get it. It’s been so long after this post, I hope your son is okay. I’m sure for anyone reading this that you could call a veterinarian and they would know how to send off the euthanized animal to be tested or know at least who to contact. They should. If not, maybe try animal control.
