In africa. for fun, i adopted a puppy last week, but it was vaccinated against rabies yesterday. any rabies risks from what appeared a healthy dog?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depend on where/what: Are there public or private initiatives to vaccinate feral or stray dogs in the area? Did the veterinarian see any signs of rabies? Is the puppy biting you or breaking your skin? Please gather that information and share with physicians there or here (add to comments) so that you can receive helpful information.
