Worried I got rabies

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi everyone I was at someones house getting something done & when I was leaving, her dog kind of attacked me on my leg but I couldnt tell if he just bit me or scratched me but it felt like a pinch on my leg so now I have a tiny mark it just looks like I poked myself w something? the dog was very small like a yorkie size but I made the mistake & googled so much about rabies, scared myself now im super worried I couldnt sleep, I feel symptoms i keep feeling like my leg aches & I cant stop thinking about this.. im too shy to tell the owner because the mark I have is so small but im still worried sick & so anxious about it, Plus I do have health anxiety

    you could easily make yourself feel better by simply asking the owner if the dog has had its rabies shot.

    Just in a nice way say that you are probably over thinking this but if you knew the dog had its shot you could feel relieved. Or something like that. something really simple. It would be over with probably in five seconds because the owner will probably tell you the dog did have its shot.but it will give you peace of mind!

    . Most people would not hesitate to ask the owner and don’t worry about what anybody thinks. It’s your health and you have a right to know.
