gave him one yesterday. Now for the question. Should I count the
one yesterday as his first shot, or the second one?

That would be the second one. It looks as if you are pretty well on
track with the series - maybe a few days off, but that isn't any
problem. The third one should be given in 3-4 weeks, and then rabies
no earlier than 14 days after that.

With kindest regards,
