Pet dog bit my finger, near nail
Hello, My pet dog (11 months old) who is fully vaccinated with all the three shots of Rabies bit me on my finger, some bleeding happened, but I cleaned the wound with water immediately first, then with soap and put a band-aid on it right after it was dry. After a few hours, when I checked, I noticed the wound to be healing, since my pet dog is fully vaccinated, Do I need to get a Rabies shot?
Observe the dog for any changes in behaviour.
If he is vaccinated... Still go for your vaccination since you had a lot of bleeding. Rabies has prevention but no treatment if one gets the disease.
