Thanks for asking Chat Doctor. Saliva from an infected dog can transmit rabies if the saliva comes into contact with the mouth, nose, or eyes. The recommended guidelines are to get rabies vaccination as soon as contact is made. It is highly successful in preventing the disease if administered promptly, in general within 6 days of infection. So you should not worry and make sure you get 5 shots of vaccination on 0,3,7,14 and 28th day on the deltoid muscle. I hope it helps. Thanks and regards.
