What Are The Precautions To Be Taken After Bitten By A Dog?
Hi i was bitten by a pet dog on my calf about three weeks ago. I was wearing jeans and i didnt notice any scratches on the bite area. I kind of know the owners and I asked them if the dog had all his shot and they simply replied yes, should I be concerned? At the moment I didnt want to make it a big deal, but the again I dont know for cetain if the dog s shots are up to date.

Hi,
When uncertainity of clear picture is there as this in your case.
If I was your treating doctor I advice you to go for 5 ARV shots to be on safe side.
Rabbied disease is a such disease where there is no recovery once it developed.
Ok and take care.
