Hello. According to me it is a grade iii category bite. Its good that you had a T.T Shot and Day 0 rabipur vaccination. The schedular is as follows: Day 0, 3, 14, and 28th day. Previously it was 0,3,7,14, & 28 from which day 7 dose is no longer given. 90 th day dose is optional for rabies, if you want have it or don't have it, doesn't matter. If the stray Dog that bitten you is alive for more than 10 days,  after keeping a close watch if possible,  then there is no need to take further vaccination. For bleeding,  it means there is a wound,  you must have a course of antibiotics for atleast 5 days & Pain relieving Medicine,  if you have assosiated Pain.  There is nothing to worry once vaccination is started and please don't worry unnecessarily. Take care and have a hasty recovery soon. Bye.
