Hi thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
A rabies vaccine will not offer protection for more than 6 months.
I suggest you to kindly get another vaccine dosage of 0,7,14,28,90.
Kindly observe the dog for another 10 days.
Consult your family physician for further queries.
Thank you
Take care
