Hi,
Dr Christensen is not available due to some other professional commitments. I wish to take this up on his behalf.
It is more than one and half months since the dog bite and the fact that the dog is alive makes you rabies free in the body. You should not be concerned at all and do not require further treatment.
Live a healthy life.

Definitely not. You should try to have sips of water all the time. This is common in anxious people. Suck on pepperiment.
