Rabies prevention
While playing with a stray dog yesterday, I made contact in some way but I did not get bitten nor do I have any open wounds or scratches. I am a little worried if i am vulnerable to rabies due to the contact. that dog is drinking milk and eating well. is it possible that the dog could be carrying rabies ?

Since, u did not get bites & also you don't have any scratches or open wounds, there is almost zero percent chances of getting rabies.
There is no need to take antirabies vaccination.
But still, I advise you to consult your family doctor once and get examined.
Observe the dog for next 1 month and see if it is healthy or not.
Avoid future contacts with street dogs.
