    If your dogs shots are up to date then he should be protected from the rabies virus. If you are concerned then you should take the dog to the vet to get him checked out.

    What makes you think the mouse has rabies, was it tested? Not all mice carry disease.

    Good luck.

    He shouldn't. That's the entire reason for getting vaccinations. However, nothing is 100% sure, so there is a remote chance that the dog could still get rabies, even if it had been vaccinated. The odds are so remote that I wouldn't worry about it.
