My 16 year old daughter was bit on the foot about 6 weeks ago. The squirrel was dragging it's back legs. She felt sorry for it and thought she wanted to feed it. It attacked a piece of bread that she threw. She threw another piece and it came closet to her. It bit her on the foot. I did take her to the doctor and they gave her a tetanus shot and antibiotics. They said that rabies shots were not needed. Everything I have read about this states that rabies from a squirrel bite is extremely rare, but can be possible. I have admit that I still am very worried about this. I could be worrying for a very long time. I- to am praying that all is ok. Your story really touched home with me.
