Accepted Answer

Dear friend,

 

I am so sorry you got bitten. However you do not have to worry.

 

The chances of a vaccinated family pet having Rabies is really about zero.

 

Just get an antibiotic and a tetanus shot from your doctor so you do not get an infection.

 

 

Sincerest best wishes,

 

Terri
