I was nipped by my one year old dog on the lip last December 19, 2020. It bled and I washed it off with tap water. Pup got it shots for rabies before that last January 5, 2020. I received my first round of shots on December 21, 2020. I'm so scared if I got rabies. Right now, it's been three weeks since that incident and my puppy is acting perfectly normal and not exhibiting signs and symptoms of illness as am I. Am I okay? I'm so scared! What if I did get rabies??

    The dog has been vaccinated and you have had your shots, there is nothing else you can do. Which country are you in? I'm sure you can stop worrying.

      I'm from the Philippines. I'm just very scared of what might happen to me. I'm scared of the "what ifs" in my mind. I constantly check on myself and immediately worry when I feel something wrong especially if what I'm feeling closely resemble rabies symptoms in humans.
