Dog bite but no blood
My dog playfully bit me in the arm, and the area started to puff up--like that bump that appears when you scratch at a particularly itchy spot--and redden. I washed it briefly with soap and water, not exactly reaching up to 10 minutes, but i'm still worried that it could be rabies. There has been no record of the dog being vaccinated--nothing that i was aware of, specifically. It eventually faded away though a few hours later. Do i need to go to the hospital?
