Seems dog scratch

2023-04-09 05:21:00
A dog started chasing me yesterday night while I was returning to home on my scooter. The dog was trying to catch my leg. To escape that I pulled my leg up but dog's leg touched my ankle. After reaching home, I didn't find any scratch or blood . But after dinner, I noticed some itching sensation at that area. Noticed a light scratch but not sure I can call it scratch or not. Should I go for rabies vaccine or not? Kindly reply me Thanks in advance.

If you have doubt you can go to the nearest hospital. But if it is a scratch you should take vaccine at the earliest. You can also consult here.
