Had A Dog Bite. Worried About Rabies Infection
My nephew was bitten by the dog before it vaccinated.. After 3 days I took my dog to vet to vaccinated.. I never told the doctor that that my nephew as bitten of the dog.. 2 weeks after my dog got sick.. I took him again to the vet to check him up.. I forgot to told the doctor about it.. Maybe my dog has already got serious illness and need medical medication.. My dog was confined to the shelter for 3 days and release it.. he become ok and need a recovery in the house.. Afternoon came my dog become afraid to the light and he only want to stay under my bed.. Did my dog pass the rabies to my nephew?

Hello
Thanks for asking query in HCM
yes Rabies can be passed to your nephew, if the Dog was not vaccinated previously.
as per recommondation your nephew should get anti rabies vaccination (Full course of post exposure prophylaxis schedule of five injection)
becouse in the latter stage treatment of rabies is very difficult.
I hope this information will be helpful for you
ok
take care
