Once you have symptoms of rabies, it's pretty much too late.
If you were not bitten you're fine, don't worry about it.
Otherwise, whenever you're bitten by an animal you don't know, get a rabies shot immediately.
Happy birthday!
Rabies kills humans, I believe Grog is correct you wouldn't show symptoms until too late. The treatment is shots, it used to be several shots (5?) but my vet friend said they don't have to do quite so many anymore. He got sick as could be but no one survives rabies (except as a vegetable) so I guess vomitting for a day was okay by him. Again unless the little guy bit you then you are okay.
