Got Bitten by a Kitten
On 10th July at 11 PM I was bitten by a kitten approximately 3–4 months old that seemed to be healthy but somehow reached the terrace of the building and was crying constantly to go down where her mother was. I tried to help and catch her, but while doing so, she bit me in my pinky finger on my right hand, and there was blood coming. I reached my house in the next 2 minutes, washed the wound with running water and soap, and also applied isopropyl rubbing alcohol. The next day, July 11, I visited a doctor, and his assistant gave me two shots on my back, left and right sides, one for tetanus and the other for the rabies vaccine (refer image attached) . I just want to confirm that is everything fine? What are some precautions I should take? There seems to be just a bit of swelling in the figure, but no pain. Should I also keep an eye on Kitten to see whether she is healthy or not? Is Rabies vaccine shot given at the back? Doctor told me to get 3 shots. Thank you.
