Suggest Remedy For Rabbit Bite
Can i get rabies from a indoor rabbit? I was bitten by my rabbit on 2 june and today is 17 i m really scared of rabies. i don t think my rabbit was ever bitten by a rabid animal and if he was, than how is he still alive? i mean i ve read somewhere that animals with rabies die within 10 days But my rabbit seem to be acting normal. My rabbit is a female 5 year old indoor rabbit. she bit me because i was annoying her (it s not the first time she have bitten me, she usually bite someone when they re annoy her) She s eating normal and pooping normal. but i m veryyy scared! :( Whenever i read rabies symptoms it creeps me out. Some symptoms match with mine. My symptoms are fatigue, anxiety,weakness,poor sleep, and i don t feel like eating. Fatigue is not new i been having it a long time ago. weakness could be because of my poor diet. and i have anxiety. i don t have symptoms like headaches or fever or vomiting or scared of water. Last week i went to doctor for blood test and it was all normal. what is wrong with me? do i have rabies? my rabbit don t have foam coming out of his mouth and he licks me whenever i put my hand infront of him. Can you please tell me do i have rabies and if i don t why am i having these symptoms? BTW i m 14 years old.

Hello
Rabbit biting never causes rabies , rather canine family ,if bite some one then there is chance of getting rabies .
2nd point is that usually within animal dies ,if it is rabid but your pet rabbit is roaming in your house and playing ( while rabid animal never play ).
3rd point fatigue weakness ,anorexia poor sleep are not symptoms of rabies .
Anxiety in your case is due to tension , so no need of worry.
I am writing the symptoms of rabies , so that you will be 100 % sure that you are NOT HAVING ANY RABIES .
Symptoms are :Hyper salivation, excessive sweating , pupillary dilatation , priapism , confusion and muscle spasm ( causes hydrophobia i.e. fear for water ).
So be sure and enjoy life with your pet rabbit.
