Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You felt that you was bitten by your dog, but there are no scratch, or bite mark. Better you have tetanus toxoid.
Rabies is a notorious disease with no cure, and ends in death.
So it is always better to have an anti rabies vaccine at least 3 doses.
Also observe the dog for 15 days, it should be healthy, and alive.
If it dies in this period by what ever cause you should have the other two injections of A.R.V.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
