Dog scratch
9 month ago my pet dog scratch me on my neck and scratch was severe like it teared my skin apart and I was able to see my underlying skin and bleeding was also coming a lot. I didn't cleaned the wound and didn't took any vaccine. Even my dog was not vaccinated . But after few days of the scratch incidence my dog took vaccine but I didn't took any vaccine. The thing that is worrying me is that my dog scratched me when he was not vaccinated so if he had rabbies that point of time the rabbies would enter into my body . even I couldn't recognise that my dog had rabbies or not as after few days of scratch incidence my dog took vaccine and he didn't die in 10 days because he took vaccine so will I get rabbies??

From above incident it appears, Your dog wasnt rabies infected when he scratched you. If it was, you would have shown symptoms by then. Its been 9 months now. Kindly do not worry. But please avoid such mistakes in future. .
