Can i get rabies from a vaccinated 7 month pup?


I was brushing his teeth, while i brush his teeth he tends to bite on the toothbrush. he bit my finger accidentaly as it was side by side with the tooth brush, so the result is my index finger got cut, aroung 3-4mm. it ws deep enough that it bled.

the punctured are is the area where you get your finger print.

it looks like a razor blade cut.

i washed it right away with soap and water.. let it on running water for about 3 minutes. then after 20 minutes, i went to drugstore to buy alcohol and betadine to cleanse the wound.

veterinary records are:

feb. 5 2007............. Biocan rabies vaccine 1st
March 18, 2007 ........ Biocan rabies vaccine 2nd

Due shot is next year march 18 2008 for booster.


question is, should i worry and get vaccinated IG + TT?
the pup was exposed to adult dogs.. who was a month late for their rabies vaccine 3 days ago..


vets and pros, your answers would be greatly appreciated. i dont have peace of mind as of the moment..

thanks.

In my opinion you are absolutly fine. If you experience balance problems go to the doctor but you really don't have anything to worry about since the dog is allready immune and the last shot is just to hammer home the vaccination.

Now if he bit your leg really deep you might have a serious problem, but not rabies. You will be fine, most pups do this and well done for brushing his teeth, keep it up.
