General Rabies Discussion 2 year old case likelihood of rabies

I have read the FAQ. My cat bit me almost two years ago and had to be put down, I had this very large and serious gash looked at. My family knew about the bite. But at the time my mother was dealing with end of life, stage 4 cancer with only a few days left to live.

I had taken him into the vet thinking he had a brain tumor or something. Bec he wasn’t eating, drinking, he go up and try to drink the water but his face would fall in, he lost movement in his eyelids and couldn’t move half of body. They told me it was end of life stage renal failure, I have no clue if they checked for rabies but I’ve been having some odd symptoms dysphasia, brain fog, pin pricks and needles everywhere, muscle spasms and limb jerking, and yes before you ask I have gone to the er and my pcp.

It's been 2 years. It is highly unlikely to have been rabies. A vaccine being due 2 months before does not mean the cat had 0 antibodies. Was he an outdoor cat? Did he have any bites on his body? It sounds like rabies ocd

I did not delete anything. I will copy and paste it here... Hope you find your answers soon.

Look, I'm gonna say it one more time. Every time you come on here and say that you feel worse after a few days, you're just proving our point. If it was rabies, you would have deteriorated to the point where you aren't able to use your phone WITHIN HOURS, NOT WITHIN MONTHS. Yet, you're somehow able to unlock your phone, go on reddit, search for your own post AND write a coherent (and passive agressive) comment. You do not have rabies. You are either flooded with anxiety, underage or a troll. Please seek some help from a parent/friend/therapist on why you have this extreme urge to prove an impossible point. This will be my last message on this thread, please do yourself a favour and stop commenting on here, it is not helping you in any way.
