Puppy bit me long ago

2017-03-12 18:00:31
I got a very small scratch on my hand while playing with my pup when it was almost a month old.I saw it broke skin, and a little blood came out. It was 3-4 years ago . My dog is 4 years old now, well and healthy. I did not get any vaccine then. I recently came across a news article in TOI that a man died from a bite 20 years old. I got a bit nervous. What should i do? I am tensed thinking about this.

if your dog is aline today , meams he never had rabies, so no need to worry. alternatively you can also get rabies vaccines now to make anti bodies against the disease as you havent got any yet
