Bitten by Chihuahua, risk of rabies ?
Hello, I'm from Ukraine.
About a month ago, a Chihuahua bit me on the street. It was quite aggressive, but showed no other suspicious symptoms. As far as I understand, it was vaccinated against rabies and the vaccine is still effective (it's a young Chihuahua).
I have a history of three rabies prophylaxis vaccines (which I didn't tolerate well) year ago. I'm very worried if the dog was rabid. I don't know if this is normal behavior.
Yesterday, I only had one Verorab booster ( Unfortunately, I got vaccinated a month after the bite. ) and didn't experience any side effects. I really hope that despite this situation here, the vaccine was stored properly. There are Indian vaccines available, but they made me sick.
Can you tell me if I'm in danger? I think I saw this dog four days after the bite, but then I lost contact with the owner.
