If a calf did not show any rabies symptoms in the past month and a half after being bitten by a dog, it is unlikely to have rabies. Some of the symptoms of rabies in animals are burrowing in the mouth, changes in behavior, and slow swallowing. By your mistake to rinse your mouth with that same water, you have the least possibility of getting rabies. It is significant that you take care of and properly clean any wounds. If some symptoms occur like fever, pain, or difficulty swallowing, consult a doctor.
