Dear patient, there is no risk of rabies infection in your situation. Here’s why: • You did not have direct contact with the dead dog. • The scratch was caused by the car door, not by the dog or anything contaminated. • The skin was only abraded superficially, and no bleeding occurred. • Rabies cannot spread through intact skin or inanimate objects like a car door. Since you are diabetic, monitor the area for signs of local infection like redness, swelling, or pus. Clean the area with soap and water, and apply an antiseptic.
