Mandi - I think you're confusing my post with someone else's. I never said there was no rabies in the GCC - just that I'd never heard of anyone contracting it from a rabid animal.

The OP still hasn't clarified if his daughter was actually bitten or if the dog just licked her. If the former, then I don't understand why the doctors he has approached haven't taken it seriously, if the latter, I can understand why he was sent home.
