Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi Dr. So I just got my rabies shot after bitten by my puppy. (By the way, my puppy was recently vaccinated but after a week she was bitten by a stray dog. After a day, we were playing and she palyfully bit be and I was startled so I quickly pulled my feet away which caused to create a very small wound which bled very little for a second or two. That s when I decided to get rabies shot. But after three days, my puppy bit me again but there was no blood in it, only a straight-like mark though it kinda broke my skin because when i applied alcohol in it (after washing it with clean water and soap) it kinda sting. So Dr. should i get another rabies shot? By the way, it all happened in just like, a month and a half?
No vaccination required since after 10 days both you and your puppy are fit.According to rabiesvaccination schedule you have to take the 1st dose immediately after getting bitten that is within 24hrs.next 4 doses on 3, 7,14,28 days.
