1) Clean the wound with soap and water 2) Donot apply any home remedies over the wound and donot dress the wound with any cloth/bandage/cotton etc. 3) Take him to the nearest hospital immediately, he needs IDRV( Intra Dermal Rabies Vaccine) After categorizing the wound, if needed they may suggest Anti Rabies Immunoglobulin also
