Thanks for your query at Chat Doctor! I went through your query! It is right that you started vaccination complete it 0,3,7,14,28 and 90 days. Rabies has variable incubation period 2 to 12 weeks sometimes longer. Treatment after exposure can prevent the disease if administered promptly, generally within 10 days of infection. Even with significant delay in vaccination still has a chance of success. It is also possible that the dog had no rabies in saliva bit must have been watched for 10 days. In that case no need to worry. You are doing the best treatment and have no CNS symptoms so very little chances of disease. The vaccine works by antibody development to combat the infection inside. Happy to take more queries! You can also write a review for me. Take care!
