Very nervous because of rabies.

I am bitten by a dog. Our pet dog. It is just a very small like an underscore. I already taken anti rabies last year, October. How long this anti rabies long? My mother said that it will last for lifetime. But I will take booster if I am bitten by a rabid animal and cause it large wound. He also lick my open wound before. What should I do. Please answer me as soon as possible. I am freaking out.

Hi.. thanks for contacting practo for health query. I am Dr.Shanmugavadivu a senior physician answering your question. You are bitten by a small pet dog and you had rabies vaccination by last October. Two points need to be cleared ,whether your pet was vaccinated and how many doses of vaccine you had. If your pet had a complete course of vaccine you are safe. If you had three doses of pre-exposure vaccine also you are safe for another 3 years Revert back to us for further queries
