How To Confirm If Infected By Rabies?
We just took our dog a bath, it seriously doesn t want to take a bath so it screams so loud, it also jumps like crazy. Later on I saw something in my legs, its a light scratch from that dog. He s vaccinated once for anti rabies. Do I need to go to the doctor? Or have I been infected of the rabies?

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that if your dog is vaccinated there is no need to worry to you. But if the dogs vaccination schedule is out of time then it is required for you take complete the rabies Vaccine schedule. If your dog is fine for 10 days its further believed that dog is free from the rabies.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
