Hello,

I've gone through your query and I want to reassure you that you've done everything you could. Current guidelines suggest even less doses (4) so if you've done 5 you're done. The vaccine should be started as soon as possible but it's never too late unless symptoms have already appeared. It's good news that you haven't had any symptoms so far and you're not very likely to develop symptoms hereafter. If you do, then a doctor's assessment (in person) would be necessary. Unless you know that the dog was diseased, you shouldn't worry too much about it!

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
