Rectal Pain

• The physician ought to deliberate upon the creature's susceptibility to the notorious rabies and the jeopardy of viral transmission following exposure.
• The physician should also ascertain whether you've previously received inoculation against rabies, either owing to your occupation's high-risk nature (e.g., a veterinarian or zoo custodian), or if you've encountered a potentially rabid creature before. A prior vaccination alters the course of action in the event of fresh potential exposure.
• Owing to rabies being an exceedingly rare ailment, the physician may be unacquainted with the necessity for treatment or may lack the vaccine for immediate administration at the clinic. In such instances, the local public health authority is a valuable source of counsel, and the emergency section of a hospital is a prudent place to solicit medical attention.

Any grave creature-induced injury warrants immediate attention at a hospital's emergency facility.

In addition to the peril of rabies transmission, other medical   concerns necessitate examination:

• Potential transmission of regular oral bacterial pathogens from the assailant creature's mouth.
• The need for an injection to maintain immunity against tetanus   (an alternative infectious affliction transmissible via bites or open wounds).
• Matters pertaining to wound rehabilitation.

Any contact with a rabid creature, wherein the possibility of a bite cannot be ruled out, qualifies as a substantial exposure.
