Question
So, a stray dog bit me about four weeks ago, and I'm super concerned because I heard rabies is a thing to worry about. The dog actually seems fine right now, hasn't shown any weird symptoms or anything. Could I still be at risk for rabies even though the dog seems healthy after all this time? What do I need to know or do next?

Rabies incubation period varies (typically 2-12 weeks, average 4-6 weeks). Since the bite occurred 28 days ago, rabies infection is still possible
