Scratch from my puppy tooth long ago
My pup once scratched me with his tooth when he was 20 days old. It bled when I pressed the scratch. I did not take any vaccine then. It has been 10 years now. My dog is into its old age.
I recently read about rabies happening after 25 years of bite. I am really nervous now. I cannot concentrate on anything. What should I do now?

Don't worry..this is not possible after 10 years if th puppy is quite healthy except in rarest of th rare cases..as incubation period of th disease doesn't prolongs so much..okk
