My 12 week lab puppy bit me on leg thumb

Question

Asked for Female, 27 Years

My puppy's vaccinations are going on & anti-rabies is scheduled when he will be 14 weeks. Yesterday he tried to bite me (as he becomes super excited sometimes) & scratched my leg thumb. Little 2 drops blood came out (like it comes when you get pricked in sugar test). I washed it and applied soframycin. He lives inside clean house and has not been exposed to outside world yet. He seems healthy. Do I need to worry or it is expected as puppies bite a lot at this age? Do I need to visit Doctor? Please suggest. I have attached photo of my thumb.

Rabies is a disease 100% mortality No vaccine is 100% effective. Even if the dog was completely vaccinated it is advisable to get one vaccinated with anti rabies. If your dog doesn't show any behavioral changes, 3 doses of anti Rabies vaccine, out of 5 are mandatory.

Next Steps

Please get yourself vaccinated.
