Hi,
Since the dog bite was bleeding, it qualifies as a Category III exposure, for which both anti-rabies vaccination (ARV) nd rabies immunoglobulin(RIG) are recommended., especially if the dog is stray/unknown/unvaccinated.
Ideally RIG should be administered as soon as possible, preferably on the same day as the first vaccine (Day0). However, it can still be given up to 7days from the first vaccine dose if not already administered. So yes, if tomorrow is her 2ndvaccine dose (Day3), she can still take RIG, but it should be done UNDER MEDICAL SUPERVISION nd ideally without delay
Pls consult the same healthcare provider,else visit a gov. authorized rabies treatment center to have this addressed properly. Wishing Ur mother a safe nd full recovry. Thanx🙏
