Rabies??? Please help! I was licked by a lost dog!

A dog with an owners name and number means it's been vaccinated (by state law). There is no possible way you're at any risk whatsoever (.) period.

Is rabies vaccine obligatory for dogs in the US? Well; it is not everywhere. Not in Norway as far as I know. Only for imported dogs.

I know in the state I live in and in all others, both dogs and cats must be vaccinated. If you've taken your dog or cat to the vet, it's registered and the vaccine must be given and updated.

In the UK, we used vaccination and the system of quarantine to eliminate rabies in pets. I don't think quarantine is used anymore since the introduction of the 'pet passport'. We're a rabies-free country (except for I think a handful of cases in bats). I would have thought Norway had operated similarly, although of course it's not island nation.
