Kitten bite
My kitten bit me on my finger and there is no severe wounds,even there was no blood until I squeezed it.Then the blood came and I washed the wound with soap and dettol.After that there is no wound or marks to be seen. Also I took the full dose rabies vaccine less than a year ago like on last March or April. So should I take the vaccine again?

Depends if your kitten is vaccinated. If yes then no need for rabies vaccination but if kitten is unvaccinated then booster is required.
