Getting rabies from what looks like an absolutely healthy puppy is pretty much impossible, but just for general knowledge, if you wait for symptoms of Rabies then it is already too late, once the first symptom appear, Rabies is not a curable disease and you would die within 10 days. symptoms include excessive salivation and mental changes.
