Rabies risks: Dogs primarily are responsible for transmission of rabies to people. It would be extremely rare for a rabbit to transmit rabies. In addition, your rabbit is not sick so the risk is essentially zero. Not sure "why" someone gave u a rabies vaccine shot for that-- I don't think u need any more treatment. Try not to worry about this!

My daughter, Mckenzie has been nipped by our 10 week old puppy (she had her second out of 3 vaccines on Monday). The puppy did draw blood. Kenz had a booster x 2 for rabies as she was bit by a rabbit. Is she safe? Does she need antibiotic cream?
