It is unlikely that your puppy has rabies, however there are three things you need to do: 1) do not play with your puppy with your face close to it. 2) have your puppy vaccinated ( it will need at least three courses of vaccines to protect it from parvo. distemper and other viral diseases, as well as rabies 3) see a doctor for your lip injury.
