Should i go for rabies vaccine ?
Hi ,
A stray puppy infront of my house was bit by another stray dog , so i took him to the local government vet hospital where they cleaned his wound and gave him meds . The problem is that i had to hold him down while they cleaned his wound and none of us were wearing any gloves , he was bleeding for quite some time before we took him so there might have been dried blood on him , i had a scratch on my finger 2 days ago and it is almost healed . Do i have to get rabies vaccine ? Am i at any risk of infection ?
