[Rabies]Bitten by a puppy 5+ years ago.
I've been bitten by a puppy more than 5 years ago. I was feeding her and much to her excitement to the food, she accidentally bit my hand as I was transferring the food to her bowl. One of her teeth ruptured by finger and it bled. I was advised by my parents washed it with soap and bleed it more to sort of eject the rabies. A couple of weeks later, the puppy died. I did not seek medical attention nor get any anti-rabies shots/vaccines. My question is should i get one now?

No its not necessary.. It doesn't take so long as 5 yrs to show symptoms and more over i think she was a pet dog so u wd hv vaccinated her.
