*This question is for educated and polite people only.
I was playing with my puppy (9 week old shih tzu), and he bit my finger (not hard though). When my finger was still in his mouth, I pulled it out really fast. His tooth scratched my finger, and I bled.
My puppy only had 2 distemper parvo LA and 1 corona virus vaccinations, no bordetella yet. But since he is too young, he still didn't get his rabies shot yet (he will when he turns 16 weeks). He was given to me, and I have no idea if his parents or any of his brothers and sisters had/have rabies.
I am not really sure wha the symptoms are of rabies, but I can tell you that my puppy is healthy (according to his vet). He is also very friendly, energetic, and not aggressive to other animals and new people.
I am a little worried though. Could I have rabies? What shall I do?
Please help and thank you in advance.
No rude or mean answers please. That's the last thing I really need right now.
