The only way to confirm rabies is to kill the animal and send the head to be biopsied(brain). If you had rabies, you'd be dead. There is only 1 or 2 cases of anyone EVER surviving rabies and that was with every bit of sophisticated medical care there is. If the dog was killed, then you need to find out if it was autopsied. Usually if rabies is ever suspected, the authorities will step in and make sure anyone touched by the dog will be notified and treated. Just getting the saliva on your skin will kill you if not treated.
If you think there is any possibility the dog was infected, then you need to contact a hospital and have the police check it out. It is not too late to get the injections. But what you had was NOT RABIES. Rabies stops all your muscles from working...like lungs and heart....as it fries your brain.
It probably had distemper and that doesn't affect people.
