Hi
Thanks for positng your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern.Sorry to hear you suffered a dog bite.
It is good you received anti-tetanus injection already.This is generally recommended if your tetanus immunization is not up-to-date.I will also advise you inquire if the dog that bit you is vaccinated.If yes, you should have no fear.If no, rabies vaccin will be needed for precaution.I will advise you respect your dates to meet the Doctor as scheduled.
Hope this will help
Wish you good health.You may write back if more concerns.
Best regards
