do i go to my regular doctor to get a rabies shot or2007-11-25 3:00:41Answers:

Either your regular doctor or the ER. The important thing is that you do it *immediately*! If you have been bitten by a rabid animal the window of time where shots will prevent infection is fairly small.

You need to keep in mind that infection is terminal!

maybe the Vet.

---

go to the ER

---

go to him he'll tell you where to go

---

Vets always know how to give rabbies shots. Lol.

Yes, your regular doctor would be the place to go to start treatment if you suspect that you were bitten by a dog that did not have it's shots. They may put you into a hospital as the shots do have some side effects. (nothing serious)

---

yes

---

Your doctor may give you a tetanus shot and antibiotics, to prevent infection, . any pets receive their rabies shots on a regular basis and report any .

---

if your not sure where you need to go to get a rabies shot then your screwed.

---

Yes usually you do, however you need to call them ahead of time so they can order the vaccine since it isn't commonly kept in stock. Some doctors won't order it for one person and will refer you to a clinic, workplace health or a hospital.

---

go to er or call health dept. how do you know the dog was rabid? the shots cost a lot and are painful.

---

The health department would have the vaccine. I think it is several shots. Be sure you need it first.

4 u or ur pet? just kidding. u can go 2 ur vet or sometimes they hold rabies clinics , that means at certain places around ur community[stores, farmcenter, ect.] they give rabies shots at a discount price.& u dont hve 2 pay any office fees. call ur local animal shelter, 2. they hve been know 2 give them out also.

For your pet yes, but if you want one for yourself, I think you have to go to the health department in your area.

Do NOT get vaccinated.
