Dog Bite but vaccine taken after 27 hour
Our neighbors dog bit me on thigh , the wound was deep but neighbor told me not to go to doc as dog is already vaccinated. But after a day wound began to swell and became tight on inside. So i ran to sasoon hosp. There i was told to get equirabi but it happened(vaccination) after 27 hours. I have been given subsequent vacc dates. Now after a day my leg is hurting terribly while walking. Today a girl from the society died from rabies. So iam terribly frightened.will i be ok? Should i sue dogOwner
Thanks for your query
Since you have started vaccine don't stop it. Complete the course without fail.
You can seek specialist physician help for administration for administration of ANTI rabies immunoglobulin which is necessary if wound is deep or extensive. It is also expensive than just the vaccine.
If she died from bite due to same dog you should seek specialist help for administration of ANTI rabies immunoglobulin and management of its complications
Everyone is getting sued for some reason or other with God. Nothing you do in life is exempt for suing by different sections of society. Even if you don't sue their records will reach the decision maker. This is up to you.
