There are cases when people's are diagnosed after 20 years of bitten by dog.
Actually it depends upon site of bite , how far from the brain is the biting site.
The virus ascends to brain from the site of bite and when it reaches brain symptoms appear .
Next Steps
kindly give a detailed history so that I can advise you further.
