Dog scratch
Last week on Friday a pet dog scratched me. His intention was not to scratch but to run away and in this process he stepped on my feet and ran . I felt his nails but there was no sign of scratch neither there was blood . The dog was not behaving that normal but the people around told me that he is a pet dog and is not harmful. After the scratch I went to the emergency to show a doctor . He told that he is not able to see any
Blood, yet he gave me a shot of tetanus and rabies. He told me that's more than enough but I can still show a physician and get the other shots if needed. Should I get the remaining shots. Am I too late for these ?
