Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that as the wound got healed. There is no chance of any infections including rabies. So do not worry. Maintain local cleanliness and apply antibiotic ointment.
I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,

Wish you a best health at health care magic.
