See if the dog is vaccinated thn atleast u shud get 3 injections n if nt thn u hv to get the complete 4 injection course of anti rabies vaccine. Bt this has to started within 24 hrs n now no need of getting anti rabies vaccination. Bt for Nxt tym keep in mind...n it's abt human safety 1st so keep tht in mind coz rabies has no cure.
