I need and advice
Hello! To begin with, I suffer from health anxiety and I am aware I tend to overthink I have rescued a kitten in early June last year and checked him for any wounds, fleas or ticks but he was clear. I have postponed his vaccinations for not know reason (I know it’s the most stupid thing to do) and took him to the vet 7 months after adopting him. He was behaving normal and never been aggressive. He scratched me though pretty bad when I was putting him into a cat carrier . My location: USA (NY) Date of possible exposure: 06/07/24 to 01/09/25 Type of exposure: scratches (mostly minor) Animal status: indoor cat Animal vaccination status: no vaccination at a time
My vaccine status: no vaccine My vet first said that I should see a doctor, then he said it’s not needed because scratch isn’t deep and cat has been indoors only for long enough so rule out the possibility of him having rabies, so I didn’t see a doctor, but now I have developed horrible fear especially that one of my children got fever and cough today. I am aware that it is most likely my anxiety, but I cannot help it he feeling that because of my stupidity I could have put the whole family on risk. Cat has been vaccinated and neutered on 01/09/25 and is feeling well, behaving as usual eats and drinks, interacts with the family as usually, not being even slightly aggressive or apathetic. Thank you in advance
