Bit by dog

2018-11-08 15:43:29
I got bit by pet dog at my cousin's place. The dog was getting to it's biscuit when I tried to help him, he bit in rage assuming I want it for myself. The bite left some scars on my thumb finger. Looking at some blood , I felt, should I get the rabies injection? I had it 12 years before for dog bite. Should I get injected again?

Yes definitely. But if your dog is also immunized, you may require less doses
