You need to get to the docs no matter what, even if you need to take a bus. (your mom should be wanting you to go in, rabies is life threatening) Seriously get over there right away.





Be prepared for a series of rabies shots (fortunately its less shots than it used to be) and also a tetanus shot.





Also call animal control or a rescue to come take the baby racoon to give it proper care. It should not be in the hands of someone unable or unwilling to take the proper safety precautions.I got bit by a raccoon! aaah! help! me! lol?
Raccoons carry more than just rabies; just like dogs and cats they are prone to distemper, and several nasty parasitic issues. PLUS, your bite could get severely infected.





In order to get the rabies shots (we don't get vaccinated against rabies), you would first need to get bloodwork to be sure that you are infected.





But seriously, as a professional animal handler, I would be more concerned about a slew of infections and diseases that the raccoon -- no matter how young - could be giving you.
Actually, you only need to watch the raccoon for 10 days to be sure it wasn't shedding the virus at the time it bit you. That is, if it even has rabies. A animal that is infected can carry the virus for months without showing symptoms, but it only sheds the virus in it's saliva for a couple days before it dies. Therefore if it lives for 10 days you are fine. The other option is to cut it's head off and have it's brain tested. Simpler than going thru rabies shots...
Raccoons are some of the biggest rabies carriers there are. You need to go get the shots and if she won't take you, find someone who will. Once you get rabies, you will die, you have a window in there of when to start the series. And, you don't have to be bit by the raccoon, just come in contact with it's saliva. You need to see a doctor.
What's the point of this question, troll?! If u aren't lying, then go 2 the doctor now, u blockhead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…
insist you go to the doctor. The raccoon could be carrying rabies. Or several other diseases! GO NOW!!!
I would immediately go to the doctor. the raccoon could be carrying rabies.
you should tell your mother that denying you medical attention is a form of child abuse. GET YOUR SHOT NOW
1 WORD
