Licked by my dog. Possible rabies?
Hi I have a pet bulldog who gets vaccinated regularly. He stays indoors because he's too lazy and we only have him as a pet. While feeding him he licked my hand which happened to have a tiny scratch which i got from playing basketball. He recently had his anti rabies vaccine 4 days prior to this incident. Do i still need to get an anti rabies shot?

I agree with Margot. I wouldn't worry yourself about this. Let your dog lick you as much as he likes! You will come to no harm.
He is protected against Rabies, plus he hasn't had any close encounter with a rabid animal.
