The dog would succumb within 10 days.
The first two doses of vaccination are of utmost importance. They can't be missed.
The rest of them can be adjusted for, between a day or two.
If you have missed last dose , you can always get it now if you don't have any issues.
It is unlikely the vaccination will fail if you dont

Last vaccine can be taken if there a delay for a Day or Two. If its non rabid dog it won't die. If there is too much delay , Vaccines has to reschedule. If it's Grade 2 or 3 bite, it's advisable to take immunoglobulin along, with vaccine.

kindly consult for further advice.
