He should get rabies shots anyway. It can be transmitted through the mouth or eyes not just bites. Rabies is nearly always fatal and can be dormant for years before it goes acute.

I have a friend who did rabies research. It’s much more common in wild animals now than in the past because of Hav-A-heart traps. People trap rabid animals and move them into new areas.
Well, this happened 2-3 years ago. So I reckon he’s fine.
