Rabies and domestic dogs

[dan1b0y]

Hi all,
Last night, I was at a party with friends. One of them had brought her dog (greyhound) and it was calm, relaxed and enjoying the company. I got up from my seat and I must have stepped on one of its paws (or part of) because she made a sound and bit my leg. Now, I was wearing jeans and it was a quick bite, more like a nibble, no pain but stunned. Anyways, once I got back to my place I showered, cleaned my leg but found no bite mark... Except a tiny, pin-sized red spot that could very well be unconnected to the biting incident.
Now my question is: should I be worried about rabies? I live in Montreal and there hasn't been rabies in dogs this year (and I'm guessing the few times it happened in the past were feral dogs in rural or northern regions). I know the dog was given vaccines at birth but it's now 3-4 years old. The owner said the dog had had its regular vaccines but I can't be 100% sure without receipts.
Should I still go to my doctor and ask his opinion? Should I get the vaccine as well? Thanks!

p.s. I forgot to mention that Animal Control has the records of all dogs and cats that have been vaccinated for Rabies. If you have this guys address and the owners name, you can tell them the address and the dogs description and they should be able to tell you if he has been vaccinated recently.

Well, since you know who the dog is that helps. Do you know for sure that the skin was not broken? It sounds like if this person doesn't have receipts he probably doesn't vaccinate his dog regularly. If there was blood and the dog got saliva in the blood in your leg (if the skin was broken) you are at risk. But, you can call the police and have them make the guy monitor the dog for 10 days for symptoms and call the animal control about it. They will tell him the symptoms to look for in the dog. If the dog has no symptoms you will be ok. but then by the time you develop symptoms it is too late (there is no treatment at this stage). So it is very important to decide if the skin was broken and whether the dog has been healthy. If the dog has been off least and outside the home you don't know if he has been bitten by a wild animal (rat or any kind of animal). They have new treatment now where I believe they vaccinate in the arm instead of the stomach. You can check if they have that in your area. If you decide on vaccination it has to be right away.
