Rabies from dog pup
Hi, today a stray dog puppy licked my leg and when I washed my leg immediately, the washed water came in contact with a wound in my toe. I had got intradermal anti rabies shot of 0-3-7-28 days a year ago due to a dog bite. Now, should I worry about rabies from the washed water contact with wound in toe. Should I get anti rabies vaccine again.

Don't be panic.
That is lick only . (No bite)
U washed with soap and water or with only soap?
Please go to nearest vaccination centre and consult with specialist.
Keep watch over puppy. If he live more than 10 days than nothing to be done.
Care your toe wound.
