Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Rabies is 100% fatal but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. As you were bit by a unvaccinated pet dog, treatment should be taken as per the schedule.
You require active immunization with antirabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28. If you have missed the second dose of antirabies vaccine take as early as possible.
Observe the dog for 10 days, if the dog is healthy you can discontinue the remaining two doses of vaccine on days 14 and 28.
Thank you.
