"It is important to understand that while Rabies has a variable incubation period, it is highly unlikely for clinical symptoms to appear 8 months after a bite without any prior signs. The 'swallowing difficulty' (shallow problem) and 'dizziness' you are experiencing are very common symptoms of severe anxiety or panic disorder, often triggered by the fear of the disease itself rather than the virus. If a dog survives for 10 days after biting, it is a clinical confirmation that the animal did not have rabies at the time of the bite
Next Steps
Verify the Dog's Health: If you can still see the dog or know it survived for two weeks after the bite, you can rest 100% assured that you are safe.
Physical Examination: Consult a General Physician for a physical check-up. They can check your throat and neurological reflexes to rule out any physical cause for your dizziness.
Mental Health Support: Since this fear is causing you physical distress 8 months later, speaking to a counselor can help manage this 'Rabies Phobia' (Lyssophobia).
Vaccination Status: If you never took the vaccine after the bite, you can still take a 'Pre-Exposure' or delayed course for future mental peace, though it isn't medically urgent for an 8-month-old bite from a healthy dog.
