Dang! Trip to doc in near future.....

[hotwine]

Yup, that he did. There were two out there when I went out to feed the cat at 5:15, and one hung back while the other came on strong to get first dibs on the food. Grabbed my ankle with its front paws, and when I tried to jerk my foot away, he chomped.

Call to the family doc gets nowhere ("we don't have any rabies vaccine here, you'll need to call your health department"). Call to county health dept. also gets nowhere ("you need to call Vector Control").
Vector Control says "You need to call Animal Control". Animal Control says "Call this number.... XXX-XXXX." Which I did, and got "This is Animal Rescue, how may I help you?"

Screw it! Took off to the local hospital's ER, and they fixed me up. Have now begun the month-long series of rabies vaccinations. Woof.
