You are safe.
A 50 day old pup is not expected to leave your house and mix with other stray dogs. So that pup can't be exposed to Rabies virus.
Hence you are safe.

Since it's a pet dog and vaccinated with one dose so ARV not required. Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water and apply T Bact ointment to avoid secondary infection.
Next Steps
Consult under Practo in case of emergency!
