Thank you for asking on HCM!

The early symptoms of rabies include weakness, fever, and headaches. Classic symptoms of rabies are anxiety and confusion, hallucinations, hypersalivation, hydrophobia (fear and avoidance of water) difficulty swallowing. Paralytic rabies happens approximately 20% of cases.

You shouldn't be worried while you have finnished rabies injections and your actual symptoms were present before the dog bite.

Hope my answer was helpful for you.
