Hold up, guys. You don't know the situation, and while the animal should be vaccinated? Sometimes some animals just aren't. I'm not advocating having animals run around without being vaccinated...but we don't even know what kind of animal this is.

If you have a small animal (rat, hamster, etc.), QUARINTINE, and handle as little as possible. Usually, rabies will kill a small animal very quickly because of their increased metabolism.

If you have a ferret/cat/dog, contact your vet AND animal control. See if you can opt for quaratining. Your vet, however, is not going to do this. Not all vets have quarantine rooms, and it would be a very risky move for them to house a rabid animal in their kennels. Animal control will take your animal, monitor them for 10-22 days, and if your animals is cleared, they will be returned to you. If not, the animal will unfortunately have to be euthanized.

Just being exposed to a rabid animal does not mean your animal has rabies. If there was contact between the animals, there's a chance your animal has contracted it. For now, I would quarintine the animal, handle as little as possible, and do NOT allow anyone else to handle the animal.

First-- why would your animal not be vaccinated? If you care you vaccinate, neuter and spay. If an animal is vaccinated you don't have to worry.

Second-- why would you let your dog near a rabid animal? If there are no bites or scratches, and if you get the animal to the vet for a shot right after-- there is no problem. Your pet will be fine.

Take it to the vet for shots and you won't have to worry about the what-ifs.

Does it have a rabbis shot? If not ,you need to take care of that right away. Make sure to take it to the vet anyway just in case the rabid animal has bitten or wounded it.

Well, that is what the Rabies vaccination is for. How would you assume your animal is exposed to a rabid animal? You can only test for Rabies, after the animal is killed, sadly.

Put the animal in a travel kennel and take him/her to the vet asap.

if your pet did not get into contact w/ the animal then your pet should be ok.
if you are concerned, take the pet to your vet.
if your pet shows signs, the only way to tell is if they do a biopsy on your pet's brain...um...i don't think pets survive the procedure.
