What should I do2007-11-25 12:28:54

Hopefully she doesn't have rabies though, and the vet will be able to tell you how to take care of the cat.

There are 2 ways to test for rabies:

1. Have the pet examined by the vet, then keep it "quarantined" (inside your home, away from other animals and people) for about 10 days, then reexamined by the vet. If she doesn't show rabies symptoms after that time period, then she's OK.

2. Kill the cat and test a portion of its brain. This is very sad, but it is what they have to do if they need to find out if the cat has rabies right away. Even if they do option 1, and the cat still shows rabies symptoms, then they will need to kill it.

Rabies is VERY dangerous. If you get rabies from an animal, and you do not get treatment from a doctor very soon, you will die. Rabies is one of very few illnesses that is 100% fatal if left untreated.

First of all yell at your parents because you never put a declawed cat outside. That is cruelty to animals and they should be turned in for that. You need to get the cat to the vet as soon as possible. Also, when your parents get old and disabled, you should throw them outside and forget about them!

Your parents are cruel and should not be allowed to have animals of any kind. They dont except the responsibility and its sad to see their child has more common sense for this cat then the adults of the house. Your parents are selfish. Your cat was attacked and is suffering injuries and needs vet care. You never allow a declawed cat outside. Take some warm water and try to get her eye to open up and clean the wounds around her mouth. Be very gentle. Look all over her body for other injurys..the fur can hide some wounds. Feel for swellings or lumps or sore spots. DO NOT GIVE ASPIRIN FOR PAIN.this will kill your cat. Your cat is very stressed right now and she may have internal injuries that may need a vets attention. She needs to see the vet and this is the responsibility of your parents to do so.
