Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What you have done by taking TT and injections following dog bit is right.
Kindly see that the wound does not get infected and would be maintained clean and dry.
Since the dog has died, you need to compulsorily complete the schedule of injections as on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 30. Also administration of immunoglobulin might be required.
Kindly get evaluated by Physician once for appropriate management following the completion of injection schedule.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
