First of all it was cat 2 or cat 3 bite, means is ther any blood or is there muscle visible. If intradermal dose is given then it is at 0,3,7,28 days both site, if they give intramuscular then 0,3,7,14,28 days. If cat 3 bite in which there is muscle visible or skin cut then alongwith vaccine , immunoglobulin is also needed , share photos if possible.

Talk to experienced orthopedist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
If your child has been given 18 months vaccine then no need to give TT injection
If it was just a lick then it's okay
But if it's a scratch or abrasion with bleeding need to give a antibody injection and total 4 doses on day 0,3,7,14 days is required
