Got bit by a dog. Need help.

2017-07-31 07:48:44
I got bit by a dog day to day before yesterday. It's my pet. 8 year old Golden retriever who's got all his vaccinations done. Category 3 bite. To be safe, I got myself vaccinated again. With Rabipur day zero and tetanus. I've also had a shit of immunoglobulin. Need advice now, as the hospital told me to not cover the wound. Should I cover it. And the second, I'm getting yellow colour in my right hand. Where he's bitten me. Please help. I'm super scared.
