Dog licked and tried to bite my foot
Hello sir I had adopted a street dog when it was 8-9 days of age and after 15-20 days when it was growing teeth it tried to bite my leg but I removed my foot so there was no bite mark on it.i washed it with soap and water . The dog was very small to be vaccinated for vaccine against rabies at that time.i showed it to a nearby doctor who told me there is no need for vaccine as there is no mark of any bite on foot. It's been year and half but I am still terrified of rabies as I sometimes get tingling sensation at that area. Should I get the post exposure vaccine?? please help. This picture is of the same day..my skin was intact but i still get nightmare about it..

It is too late for post exposure vaccination. Now there is no point in taking any ARV. You didn't mention if the dog is still with you.

No need to worry, if you had got rabies you wouldn't be alive to write this down. Rabies is a 100% fatal disease with Most patients dying within a week of producing symptoms.
All you need is to chill out and enjoy with your pet. Make sure vaccination are up to date
