Dog teeth touch skin

2022-04-06 15:31:00
Actually today evening when I was playing with a street dog big puppy at that time his teeth touched my thumb skin and I felt a pain there but I saw no scratch no blood no tearing of skin but it was paining for sometime and still pain persists. Can it be possible that teeth would have touched inner skin ? As I can't see any sign there but just little pain . Should I take injections for d same ? And before 8 years when dog bited I had took injections What should I do ?

Full ARV course of 5 injections needed Micro injury also sufficient for viruses to enter the body, pain also suggests that injury is there Remember rabies is practically non treatable disease, but luckily prevention is almost 100 💯 effective so no confusion go for it
