Is Rabies Vaccination Advisable After Being Bitten By A Dog?
Hi, my mother was grazed by my dogs teeth. I was not there when it happened. She is reprimanding the dog to not bite (playfully bite) my sister then she tap my dogs nose I dont know what exactly happened. It s just that when I got to them her finger was bleeding profusely from just one tiny pierce. Should I worry? My dog just got her first anti rabies vaccination yesterday.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be severe piercing of finger due to bite producing profuse bleeding.
As dog is given first dose of anti rabies vaccination shortly, it requires anti rabies vaccination to your mother.
Give her tetanus toxoid shot as well.
Ok and take care.
