Dear patient,
there is no risk of rabies infection in your situation.
Here’s why:
• You did not have direct contact with the dead dog.
• The scratch was caused by the car door, not by the dog or anything contaminated.
• The skin was only abraded superficially, and no bleeding occurred.
• Rabies cannot spread through intact skin or inanimate objects like a car door.
Since you are diabetic, monitor the area for signs of local infection like redness, swelling, or pus. Clean the area with soap and water, and apply an antiseptic.
Health Tips
If you feel anxious or develop any unusual symptoms, feel free to consult again.
Take care
