Dog bit me in the leg

My dog bit me at night. So I was wearing pyjamas and he was playing a round with it. Suddenly, mistakenly he bit my leg through pyjama. It’s just a scratch with no bleeding at all. What do I do?

HELLO, INJECTION TT ONE AMPLE IM STATE. IF PET IS VACCINATED, THEN NOTHING TO DO. IF NOT AT LEAST FIVE DOSES OF ANTIRABIS YOU  SHOULD TAKE. SUBCUTANEOUS, IN DELTOID REGION. O.K BYE.

Usually the risk of rabies is very less with pets. If your pet is vaccinated then you don't need rabies vaccination. Else you may need vaccination. You should observe your dog for 10 days.
