Dog bite problem

2022-08-15 03:28:47
Hi, Today while doing morning walk I was bitten by a dog (owned one). Initially I didn't realize but few minutes after it started bleeding. All of this happened so sudden that I forgot to enquire about dogs vaccination history. After coming home I washed wound with soap and water. What precautions do I need to take further?

You need post exposure vaccination complete schedule if you were not vaccinated previously. If you have received previous complete pre/post exposure vaccination,you will receive 2 doses of vaccine on day 0 and 3.

U'll have to take Anti rabies vaccine depending on ur vaccine status, irrespective of the vaccination status of the domesticated/undomesticated dog.
