Suggest Treatment To Be Taken After Bitten By A Pet Dog
I was playing with our dog this evening and being the dumb person that I can be, I reached into her mouth to get the toy and she clamped down on the toy and through my thumb nail. I put antibiotic cream and a band aide on it. Should I do anything else for it at this point?

Hello,
I hope that your pet dog is immunized with the anti-rabies vaccine as per schedule. However, you need to take tetanus toxoid vaccination and in addition, I suggest you take anti-rabies vaccination also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
