Accidental Dog Bite On The Leg. Had Taken Complete Dose Of Rabies Post Being Bitten By A Stray Dog. Should I Repeat The Full Course Again?
good day my husband was playing with our 2 and a half mos old shit tzu and was accidentally bitten at his leg.the pup doesnt have rabies vaccine yet as he was not yet on his 3rd month. ( last sept or oct 2010 he was given a complete dose of a rabies vaccine as he was bitten by a stray dog.)does he need to get the full course again?

Hi,
As your husband has been "accidently" bitten by your pet and the pet can be observed constantly, he does not require the rabies shots. Moreover he had a course only about 6 months back.
Hope your doubts have been cleared. Thanks.
