Hello, I got a new puppy a few weeks ago. He is very heathy and a good boy. On Saturday my Mom was visiting and was playing with him. He got wild and bit her arm instead of his toy. The bite was unintentional but it was a puncture wound never the less. She cleaned it and put antibacterial cream on the bite right after it happened. He had his first rabies shot a few weeks ago. I told my vet about it and she gave me the party line about rabies, human shots, time frames. She also said if my Mother went to the doctors if it got infected the puppy would be quarantined and she would have to get the shots. She also said giving the shots to a 82 year woman would not be a good thing. The puppy is completely healthy and extremely sweet. I have no indications in any way that he is sick. But apparently rabies can have a long incubation period. I called my mother to see how the bite was and she had forgotten it even happened. No pain, swelling. I feel like I am being paranoid...certainly people are bitten by sharp little puppy teeth all of the time. But should I encourage my Mom to go to the doctor? Any thoughts?
