Hi,

I was in a small encounter with a neighbour's dog about a month ago and it gave a small bite/nip on my lower leg. The dog didn't appear rabid at the time and my neighbour said that he'd been vaccinated. I didn't think it was necessary to seek medical attention at the time and just cleaned the small bite/nip. At present I think the dog is still well I think, I was just wondering about the possibility of rabies (or any infection) because recently I haven't been feeling normal but it could be a coincidence?

Also out of curiousity, can an uninfected dog pass on rabies if you know?

It may seem rather pedantic of me to ask, but having read how rabies has a rather variable incubation time I'm a bit concerned. I was thinking about going to get another tetanus shot soon because it has been a long time since I've had one.

Thank you sincerely in advance.
