Calza sniffed out a feral kitten on our evening walk. Instead of running, the feral kitten stood its ground and bit / scratched / clawed Calza. The fact that the kitten was feral and acted in the manner it did makes me worried that it was rabid. I mean, how many 4 month old kittens in their right minds are going to trade blows with a 110 pound dog?
Its after 11:00PM here. I am taking Calza to the vet first thing tomorrow morning. My research indicates the protocol for this situation involves giving Calza a rabies vaccine IMMEDIATELY.
Fortunately, Calza is UTD on vaccinations or I would be having a dog euthanized or quarantined for 6 months per the protocol in this case.
We both need prayers. I am pretty shaken up and Calza is confused about my behavior.
