What a horrible day yesterday, I decided to take Leo out to his DGP's so he could go mousing, we stopped at his vet so he could sign some insurance papers of course our vet is on holidays so we get the locum vet to sign. Then I see a big red sign about rabies and there having been 3 cases of it in Saskatoon this year. Then I remember that Leo doesn't have his rabies shot, and killed a bat yesterday at 12:30 am. Pure panic is what I felt and am feeling. The vet contacted the CFIA (I have no idea who they are) they wanted to come take this bat away for rabies testing and put Leo into quarantine, well the bat is laying dead on the yard of my apt and it was very hot yesterday so that was a no go. If this bat were to test positive for rabies Leo would be euthanized. So I asked if he could be vaccinated, which of course wouldn't do a damn thing if Leo were infected, so he got rabies vaccinated yesterday and him and I are in quarantine for 10 days, but I he could potentially carry the virus for up to 6 months. I don't want to lose Leo to something like this, I've been bawling my eyes out and watching him like a hawk. I even dreamt he was rabid and was biting and scratching me, it was so real he woke me up by coming to crawl under the blankets and I laid there terrified of my kitty until I realized it was just a dream. Please please please pray for my Leo, I'm not a big religious person by any means but I've been praying since yesterday.
