Puppy nipped me years ago

Question

Asked for Male, 24 Years

My pup nipped me when it was 3 weeks old. It was a small scratch on my thumb, but bled a little. I did not take any vacancies then. Now 7 8 years have passed since. My dog is still healthy and alive. But thinking about that day makes me nervous. I am getting anxious. What should I do now?

There is practically no possibility of you suffering from a dog bite injury that happened 7 years back. Moreover the dog is healthy and alive with you now, which means it did not suffer from rabies. So forget it. To control unnecessary thoughts, yoga and meditation are recommended.
