Hello friends. I went to the ER because a mouse bit me on the finger yesterday. How has your weekend been?
All the walk-in clinics were closed and I couldn't remember when I'd last taken my shots, so as silly as it felt, talking to a triage nurse at the hospital seemed like the smart thing to do.
The doctor had me fill out a report for animal control types on the minute chance that the mouse had rabies, but said a tetanus shot would realistically be all I needed. The moral of the story: don't assume a tiny rodent can intuit your motives. Oh, and keep on top of your vaccination records.
@Kit family visit headaches. also ow D: I hope everything works out
Backstory: I met a super-friendly kitty while walking home and I heard a squeak while petting it.
I spotted a mouse (!) and tried to shoo it away while the kitty was distracted by my headpats. The mouse didn't appreciate my gesture and latched onto my finger. 😓
