Common Conditions

Hi all, due to my pet dog's frequent nibbling issue I had a series of shots taken in July 27,31& Aug 4 (0,3,7) . After three doses I have taken another single shot of vaccine on September 7 and Oct 31. So total 5 shots in last 4 months . My recent exposure to a stray dog licking my finger tip while I was feeding it and I unknowingly used the same finger to eat 2mins later caused me panic and made go for rabies vaccination again. Now currently 0,3,7 on Jan 4,7,11 are done while first two were in gluteal . My two concerns 1. Since my pet dog is vaccinated and rabid free and still health can I consider my earlier 5 doses as PrEP dose and will it give me immunity 2. With the current course shall I retake my day 0,3 since they're given in gluteal . Or is it okay to carryon with further doses ?

I have one budgie bird and he's bleeding from his tail. Not from the vent or rectum. It is bleeding from the place from where the tail is coming out. What to do?

In October 2024, I completed the full course of Rabivax vaccines (Day 0: 29/09/2024, Day 3: 02/10/2024, Day 7: 06/10/2024, Day 14: 13/10/2024, and Day 28: 27/10/2024) following a dog lick on open wound. Today, while playing with a puppy, it pulled on my lower clothing, causing it to tear, and I got 2-3 scratches with slight bleeding. I visited a hospital immediately, where the doctor advised cleaning the wound and stated no booster or additional vaccine is needed since I am fully vaccinated and it has been less than six months. However, I am still anxious and would like to confirm if this approach is correct and if there is any additional precaution I should take.

My little puppy (Indian breed) who is 3 months old got hurt in his one of the front legs. Not sure if it's broken or not. When I touched the leg, he didn't react so I feel it's not broken yet. Little bit skin peeling and blood is there. I used betadine liquid for that. He is facing challenge while walking. Can anyone guide me what to use for that leg?

One week ago, A stranger dog licked my hand, no wound on my hand and by mistake i put that hand into my mouth after 15-20 minutes. Today i got sore throat. Should i get rabies vaccine or not?

I have 2 Months old puppy. He faced severe hair fall and itchiness when he's one Month old and we've taken to VET. Puppy lost most of the hair in the body and legs. Doctor told that is scabies and given some medications such as cephalexin, permathrin, might take few weeks to recover. I followed every medication but the condition is Not improving. I see some black dots like hyperpigmentation in the skin where there's no hair. I can see some hair growth in legs. Is this a improvement? What can I do to come out of this since my puppy is struggling so much!
