Dog bite RIG
Few weeks before I was rescuing street puppy and saw a minor scratch for which I got my Day 0 shot on 25 July and Day 3 yesterday(28 July). My Day 7 is due on Aug 1st. Now today I spotted that there were only 3 puppies out of the 4. Not sure if the one survived or no, cannot be distinguished. Should I be worried? Is there a need for RIG? (Fyi I took 3 shots in June 2025 as well )

You don't need RIG. It is needed for deeper wounds. You just continue with the normal ARV schedule and complete all the doses at the right time.

Minor scratches don’t need RIG . Only deep wounds do. Doesn’t matter whether the puppy survived or not.
Minor licks and scratches just need Inj. ARV 4 doses as prevention.
