You went to the doctor after 6 days. No virus is going to wait for six days to start its journey towards your brain.
Immunoglobulin is given within a few hours. Otherwise it is useless.
You have to observe the dog for 10 days. Even if it is your pet dog you have to take three doses of the Anti rabies vaccine.
