    Squirrels tend not to be vectors for rabies. I got shredded by a squirrel my cat brought in that I thought was dead. The doctor shrugged me off and sent me home with some antibiotics.

    Squirrels don’t consume rabies vectors, so they’d have to be bitten by a bat with rabies first if they have it.

      Exactly and you can Also just get the treatment for rabies without the need to know if there even was exposure, its just a immunization with 3 vaccines and for a animal control officer, THEY SHOULD HAVE THAT BEFORE STARTING TO WORK!
