1) Do thorough wash to the injured area with normal saline or clear water and undergo dressing if required 2) Take one dose of Tetanus Injection if not taken in recent years 3) Take Vaccine for rabies on 0,3,7&14 day (total 4 doses) 4) IVIG (immunoglobulin) administration is required if the wound is severe and bleeding present 5) watch the dog for any signs of disease like excessive salivation, improper behaviour pattern, aggressiveness etc
