You misunderstand what was posted. A vaccination is to develop antibodies before your are exposed to rabies. Rabies shots or treatment is when you are exposed to rabies. That is when you get rabies immune globulin shot and another 3 shots. That is not a preventative vaccination before exposure.
You have posted nothing that indicates that you were actually exposed to rabies. What interactions did you have with the bat or your cats that you say were bit by the bat that exposed you?Postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) consists of a dose of human rabies immune globulin (HRIG) and rabies vaccine given on the day of the rabies exposure, and then a dose of vaccine given again on days 3, 7, and 14. For people who have never been vaccinated against rabies previously, postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) should always include administration of both HRIG and rabies vaccine. The combination of HRIG and vaccine is recommended for both bite and non-bite exposures, regardless of the interval between exposure and initiation of treatment.
And I find it hard to believe that the bat bit your cats. I think you are embellishing the story because the bats found in Wisconsin are mostly insectivores and do not attack animals or humans.
