Rabies Question
Posted: 06-27-06 08:25am

One day I was over at my friend's house to play hockey. We were playing around with the ball and it jumped into the dog's food and water bowl. We continued playing and then the ball hit me around the mouth area, maybe my cheeks. I also licked my lips which could have been hit by the ball. Would I get rabies? Also, am I able to transmit it to other people, I don't want anyone to be infected. And how often are dogs suppose to the get rabies shot? And what if I get all of the necessary shots for rabies and i'm not infected, will anything happen? Please answer back, i'm really scared, I don't want me or anyone to die.


Some additional information. I live in canada, it happened 4 days ago. The dog was immunized 2 to 4 years ago and the dog seems to lie around the house a lot, lazy and when it goes on walk it's kinda energetic.
