Unless proved otherwise, every dog bite should be taken as threat of rabies. You need to consult your physician.
It can. Opossums can carry Rabies. If your dog was bitten by any wild animal, it should receive a Rabies booster shot.

Because the rabies shot is a live virus, no. This could increase the rate of your dog getting sick from rabies. Get your dog tested, then if it has rabies, get it rabies injections.
In theory, a dog could get rabies at birth. If the mother had rabies or if it was bitten right after birth.
No. You cannot have rabies. Even the dog did not die of rabies.
I have the same problem my dog bit and killed an outside rat.. I don't know if the rat had rabies but i want to know if my dog can get rabies from biting it

You would have to be bitten by a rabid animal e.g a dog.
if you get bitten by a dog with rabies you might get them
i don't think you will get rabies because its been for 4 years since you have been bitten by a dog.
If the dog's vaccinations are current, then there is no recorded case of a human contracting the rabies virus from the dog. But, a booster shot is recommended.
You should take your dog to the vet and then ask the owner of the other dog if they had recently had rabies shots for their dog. Just in case get rabies shots if that dog has been bitten.
