Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
If you had taken the vaccination days 2 days later , it should not be a problem.
I still advice you to try to know the status of the dog. If it is still alive , chances of getting rabies infection is unlikely. So , you are safe.
However , since you had taken earlier shots on time , i don't find any problem in receiving last dose 2 days later.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask me through Premium Query directed on my name. I will help you my best.
Stay Healthy.
