Question
I have been bitten by a Kitten on dt 17/05/2012 on my little finger, 1-2 droop of blood had came out then i wash the scratch with anti bect. soap and also washed it with Detol. I took TT injection and one anti rabbis injection (RABIPUR) within 24 hr.  i have a small baby 1.5 yrs old and i feed him daily, so it is necessary to me to take all the doses of injections. there is no sweeling on my finger. pls advise

Answer
Hi Madhu,

I'm not a doctor. But I can tell you this. If the kitten is isolated for 10 days and there are no changes in its behavior then I personally wouldn't get the treatments. If the kitten has dies then I wouldn't take a chance and get the treatments. If you can't find the kitten then you have to ask yourself, how much rabies is in the area? But again, I'm not a doctor. This is a decision you have to make. Good luck and take care.

Ciao, Karen
