Hi Lance,
DMG was exactly what I was thinking of. I can only see it a a "can't
hurt, might help" option.
Did you witness the bite? Any chance it was claw rather than tooth?
I know that you will worry regardless, but what you describe doesn't sound like
a deep bite, so probably less likely to transmit the virus than an injury that
involves deep penetration. Has Ember been tested recently?
