Rabies vaccine
Sir/Ma'am
I dont know if the animal who bite the goat was rabid or not. I buthered the goat and while butching the goat it got into contact with its body tissue with my mouth
(i was not having cut in my mouth)
i inhaled it too. i went to govt hospital they prescribed me 3 ARV 0,4,8 at that time
i took all of them its been 40 days after exposure now
is 3 dose of ARV enough if the animal was rabid and its been 40 days now
or i had to take more of them
i am so tensed of it
am i safe sir?

What is your basis of information that the goat was bitten by a Rabid dog?
Even if the goat was bitten by a Rabid dog and the goat got Rabies, the goat can die of Rabies but can't infect others because herbivores don't spread Rabies . They don't bite human beings.
Rabies can spread only via the saliva of the Rabid animal, not by cutting or eating its flesh.
So your question becomes hypothetical.
