Can I Contract Any Infection From An Exposure To Dog?

I have a bit of an embarrasing issue. I was out walking with my male dog in a field. I tripped over a rabbit hole and in doing so, my lead got caught up in my dogs legs and pulled my shorts down as i fell. This is the embarrasing part. My dog tried to mount me as i was on the flood and his penis touched my backside but i quickly pushed him off. I want to know if there is any problems that i could face from this?

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum.
I really appreciate your concern about the problem you are facing.

I want to comfort you that till there is no inside contact or biting or nibbling you are quite safe in this situation. There are various diseases that could be transmitted from dogs to man which could be fatal. So I urge you to be safe in future situations.

Also I would like to suggest you that you need to vaccinate your dog for rabies, which you already would have done.

Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask any further question.
Have a nice Day.

Regards,
Dr.Abhijeet
