Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.

If I am your doctor I advice you that your dog had completed vaccine and no need to worry. But please take tetanus toxoid vaccine, antibiotics for prophylaxis of infection. As dog is under your supervision check for any abnormal behaviour in the dog. immediately report if the dog comes with it.
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
