If it is...: Your family dog it is highly unlikely that it has rabies as it has probably been vaccinated. If it is a stray dog that bit you or if the dog has been acting strangely seek medical attention immediately. In addition, depending on the severity of bite you may need antibiotics to prevent any bacterial infections.
