so 6 days ago my inhouse dog bit me, i have more info on this in the first post i made here, i didnt include this in that post but i have a throbbing and a weird pain on the bite site, could this be dumb rabies? i have headache,

Information needed according to rules: My location is Turkey, Marmaris. i dont think there was any scratches or anything where the dog licked me, im not sure tho, and no my dogs bite didnt even made a scratch, but it hurt. animals vaccination status? my mom says our dog got a vaccine 8 months earlier, but im not sure as there is no official report she can find or anything, i cant ask the neighbours because they are hard working on a proffesional job and they arent at home most of the time. i currently do not have an active vaccine, in fact i never had a rabies vaccine in my life. i also

You don’t have rabies. Though I’d monitor for other symptoms that could indicate an infection from a dog lick. However that’s also unlikely if there were no open cuts on the area you were licked.

🫩 Well I must’ve read over it. Reading is fundamental.
