2. I don't think conjunctivitis is really a symptom of rabies

Besides, why isn't the vet vaccinated? My daughter's entire veterinary class had to be vaccinated for rabies before they started vet school. I was a mere vet tech and I was vaccinated. I also took care of 3 quarantined, rabid animals (2 cats and 1 dog) before vaccines for humans were available and I didn't get rabies, because it's not airborne and I made sure I didn't get bitten. Still, I was quite happy to get the vaccine when it came out. It's a really awful way to die.

My alma mater once exposed the entire vet school to rabies when they thought this horse had a really cool and rare neurological disease and had everyone examine it. Turned out to be rabies. So the whole vet school had to go through rabies shots, back in the day when they were horrible. Fun times.

Anyway I think you want a different vet.
