Suggest Treatment To Be Taken Followed By Dog Bite
about a weeka nd half ago I was bitten on the back of my leg by the neighbors dog. The skin was b roken by two teeth . I didn't go to the doctors for any treatment. Should I be concerned at this point and would there be any signs of health issues at this time?

Hi,
I advice you to go for 5 shots of ARV and tetanus toxoid as early as possible.
Rebbies and tetanus can occur any time even after long time of dog bite though it is rare.
But once it occurs it is always life threatening.
Ok and take care.
