Hi,
I am assuming that you had a dog bite and then you received rabies vaccination 4 months later. Why did u wait for so long to get vaccinated?!!
There are two kinds of rabies in dogs, Furious rabies and quiet rabies.

In Furious rabies, the animal goes furious and bites everyone it encounters.
In quiet rabies, the animal is very quiet and does not attack.

In both the rabies, the animal dies in 7-10 days.

You do not have to worry about your puppy having rabies if your dog has been vaccinated on schedule.
