HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I appreciate your worry, it is all depends upon the dog there are some concrete conditions first, the dog should not be female, the dog must not have rabies infection, dog should not died after the bite, if this are the conditions then you should not worried, and I hope this was not the case, you have already received the dosage, may be you have taken inadequate dose, still do not worry, hope this information helps you, take care and have good time.
