Common Conditions

“Today my leg accidentally touched a street dog. I did not touch the dog intentionally — my leg just brushed against its body. The dog had an open wound near that area, and the wound looked reddish-white with some fluid coming out. My skin was completely normal and I did not have any cuts or open wounds. The dog did not bite or scratch me. I washed the area afterward. I am worried about the risk of rabies from this contact.”

My dog generally takes nobivac rabies shot yearly but today he is vaccinated with defensor brand rabies vaccine. Will his immunity become compromised for brand changing?he is 4years old now

Respected Sir/ Madam In my village, there are many cats who don't have access to healthcare. They are suffering from upper respiratory infection, which appears to be viral as per my knowledge Request you to please suggest me antibiotics for treatment of secondary infections such as upper respiratory infection I have doxycycline syrup 50 MG Doxycycline, good antibiotic to fight, secondary infections in cats Thank you

My 2.5 years male indian breed dog got hurt yesterday. He got some wound on his neck. I gave betadine liquid but it remains same. What to do? I have attached picture.

Is it true that even 3 doses of prep give enough protection for future bite within 3 months and boosters are just for maximum protection i mean to say that 3 doses already  make risk very low if bite on foot not on high risk areas like head face neck

I took rabbies 5 doses but cat died as it was heavy infected dont know it has rabbies m i safe ...kk

My female dog (7 years in age, unspayed) has been licking & itching herself alot around 2 weeks. Her nipples were a bit swollen and she recently had her periods and was being clingy after it. She hates a toy and she was now roaming around with it everywhere she went and was whining and staying indoors besides us alot. She is still very energetic but she is constantly licking her nipples. Her skin has darkened around her nipples and her nipple have become worse. Please suggest some medicine/remedy as we don't have vets nearby or in the meanwhile anything to lessen her symptoms.

I completed a full course of anti-rabies vaccination on 27 November 2023. Subsequently, on medical advice, I received a booster dose (Day 0) on 9 December 2024 following an exposure from my own dog. On 8th February 2025, I experienced a minor exposure again from the same dog. The dog is healthy and fully vaccinated, receiving regular annual anti-rabies vaccinations. The incident involved a scratch caused by the dog’s nails most probably. There was very less (micro) amount of visible bleeding, no open wound, and the skin appears intact. Given my vaccination history and the nature of this exposure, I would like your guidance on whether any further post-exposure prophylaxis or additional measures are required. Thank you for your time and advice.

She has a boil under her foot. Could someone help me with this.As there is no specialists near me hence asking here.
