Hello greetings..
First take a shot of inj. Tetanus Toxoid Stat..
Nothing will happen.. If a dog bites then only we should consider about Rabies. So no worries. Inj. TT IS MORE ENOUGH.
Next Steps
Do a dressing for the wound.

Yes , risk of rabies is there if a dog infected with rabies either bites or lick a open wound because rabies virus is present in saliva of infected animal.
Go to your physician nearby he will give you tetanus and guide for anti rabies vaccine
