And sir please suggest me what to do in future if my pet bites me because he scratch every family member everyday as he plAy with all is it safe??
And sir is true any vaccination leads to little increase in body temperature?
And sir from last 10 years he bites and scratch me so many times I never feared but this time only I feared after knowing that it is deadly disease and haved tha vaccination which is not needed in vaccinated dog!!sir now I can play and sleep on same mattres as I was doing in past?

Brief Answer:
keep your pet vaccination status updated.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Since the bite was 50 days back, and the pet is doing well , you are absolutely safe. As we had discussed earlier that pet doesn't live more then 10 days, if it has rabies infection.
The best way out for the prevention is to get him proper vaccinations, so as to be sure that even if the pet scratches anyone at home, all are safe.
If your pet is vaccinated, then you and your family members are safe, as vaccination post bite to the person is not indicated, if the pet is vaccinated.
Yes, any vaccine that is live attenuated, can cause transient rise in body temperature or even fever, this happens as a result of antigen antibody response.
You are absolutely safe.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
