i got bitten by a dog that someone in my apartment building owns, how at risk am I? I live in a large city in the Eastern U.S., I have no reason to believe that this dog frequents the outdoors (again, a big apartment building with little wildlife anywhere near it) there was no blood, but a little skin tore.  it was a small dog, i was petting it and in its excitement i suppose, it bit me.  what do you think?
Helots is a very delicate question. Rabies virus remain on the canine teeth of dog (with the help of which dog bite someone). When such patient visit my clinic I advise them to take anti rabies vaccine on day 0, 3, 7, 14 & 30th day (post exposure). While some doctors advise their patient to observe and keep watch for dog for 10 days, if dog dies within 10 days then they recommend anti rabies vaccine. I recommend you get in anti rabies vaccine as mentioned above. Since dog was stray, so I recommended. Good luck.
