stray dog licked hand do i need a shot. hello . i was sitting in my car talking on the phone with my window open. when i looked out the door i saw a stray dog sniffing for food near my door i simultaneously felt a burning sensation on broken skin on one of my fingers which was holding the phone. now i'm in doubt that did that stray dog licked my hand while i was talking on the phone and looking the other way. if so than should i get a shot? please help me doctor i'm really worried. thanks. p. s. this happened 13 days back.
you need to seriously evaluate your common sense. a stray dog licking you means he trusts and likes you. quit letting anxiety make it anything more. if concerned wash your hand with soapy warm water. end of story.
