Hello, Today (Sunday, 26/11/2017), I was walking my dog, who had his vaccines back in August, and he spotted another male dog and tried to go after him. As I held him back he got more agitated and turned around and bit me for a split second. The bite went through my pants. The wound isn't deep and I washed it with soap and water. The thing is, although I'm not worried he has rabies, he licks the mouths of dogs who aren't vaccinated. So could that be a risk to me from the bite? Thank you.
