Dog\Puppy bites

2017-10-03 14:30:48
Will a rabid dog die ? I have a dog, when it was a puppy(20 days old) ,5-6 years back, it playfully bit me. I did not get vaccinated then. Now i read about rabies and feeling quiet disturbed. I am really tensed. I read on the internet that rabid dog dies . Is this true ? What should i do now ? I am losing my mind. Please help.

Don't worry. Usually risk of rabies with pet dogs are very less. If the dog is healthy after 10 days of bite..that's a sign that risk of rabies is not there.
