Hi, A dog bite your mom on the left leg, on 5-5-2013. there was heavy bleeding at the spot. the doctor given a dose of A.R.V,and suggested 3 more injections. The dog was killed, and how many injections your mom needs to take.If she took only one injection on 5-5, new shedule should be started again.
The anti rabies vaccinations will be available in all pharmacies, they should be taken on 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30th day after the bite, one more booster dose should be taken after one year of the last injection. the shedule will be available with each injection . Thank you.

Hello,
thank you for using health care magic,
well schedule of anti rabies vaccine is like on day 0,3,7,14,28 and booster dose on 90th day..no need of dose more than these.. you will get vaccine easily in any government hospital..
about food there is no restriction.. she can have whatever she likes.. if blood lose was very much take food rich in iron or you can also start iron tablet..
it was wise of you to clean wound with water.. for future if dog bites clan it with water and soap, do not put bandage and take vaccine immedietly ..
take vaccine for tetanus also..
hope this helped you..take care..
