Hi. I was just bitten by one of our rats. He got loose and I caught him which of course scared the jumpings out of him and he bite me at least twice drawing lots of blood. He is back in his cage unharmed. I am sitting in the hospital freaking out.
Will they make us kill him???? We are in Ontario, he has never bit before. I know it was out of fear. They are required by law to notify public health
Plus I'm honestly scared of rat bite fever. I don't know much about it. But I know some people die from it.
Waiting to see if I need stitches. Sounds like I'll be getting tetanus and rabies shots. Fun times.
Reaching out to fellow rat lovers for support because I don't know how the doctor will react to a pet rat. The nurse seemed to think I was crazy by the look on her face.
