Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
If dogs saliva is in contact with the abraded skin ARV should be given.
Start the vaccine on the day of bite('0' day), then on 3rd, 7th.14th and 28th day.
If the dog is found to be healthy after 10th day further shots can be discontinued.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
