Dog paw touch

2021-01-05 07:56:28
There is a dog in my street which is 2 year old who I feed everyday. Today while I was feeding the dog her paw touched my ankle or you can say she put her paw on my ankle unknowingly. There is no mark on my ankle no bleeding. I applied savlon and there was no burning sensation. Should I get Rabbies vaccine?
