Since the puppy crossed 10days window period, no need to worry. You can go for rabies antibody titer test for your immunity.

Hi,
1. No need to worry becos the puppy died after >10d which could be due to multiple other reasons(that are not as scary as rabies).
2. Do a rabies antibody titer test.
3. If the value of the test is less than required- repeat anti rabies vaccination. And ur physician should always be kept in the loop.
Thanks

If the dog was healthy for at least 10 days after the bite, rabies transmission is not possible, and no further action is needed. Just to be on a safer side u can get ur rabies antibody titer done and if it's within the range u are safe. Better to also consult a physician for the same
