The problem was the raccoon saliva all over the dog. And that I had to take her into the emergency vet right away (I had very little contact with her and washed my hands multiple times, but gloves would have been better). Raccoons, along with skunks and bats, are the biggest vector here in CT.
The state is doing the testing now - so I should have no problems getting the results by Friday. The AC officer said he would start calling the lab by tomorrow afternoon/Thurs morning to ask about the status. He did tell me that he inspected the raccoon before he sent it, and it looked healthy (rabid animals are usually a mess). The docs said that there is a minimum of a 7 day incubation period, so the results will be in plenty of time.
I'm doing pretty well about not obsessing too much about it. I probably should have had the vet do a necropsy, though - it would have cost about $100, but the results would have been faster.
