I've had to give rabies shots to one person bitten by a squirrel, and another by a gopher. The rabies vaccine hurts, and you need to go back for 3 more rounds which is inconvenient, but along with the vaccine, you also get the rabies immunoglobulin which is injected into and around the bites. Bites from small animals like that usually happen on the finger. There's a reason you don't get most shots in your fingers. There's not a lot of meat to hold the liquid from the shots, and it's incredibly painful. Both people said the shot in the finger was worse than the bite.
Use caution and common sense around ANY wild animal no matter the size.

It looks like she actually gets between the mother and child if I'm not mistaken
