Since u got vaccination for rabies before 7 months, u don't need to worry that much, becoz the vaccine works for a year...
U said like, ur dog scratch u before 3 days before death,...
Actually we should understand rabies spreads mainly through dog bite .. that too if ur dog has rabies only u will get rabies, if it has died due to some other problem, u won't get rabies....
Thank you

Not every dog die because of rabies, the rabid dog will show couples of signs like aggression, paralysis, drooling and some more if it had, then regarding vaccination you have to consult generally physician.
