Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, you was bitten by your dog, which is healthy.
The thing is here after he should be healthy, and alive,for at least 15 days, if it dies even by accident in the mean while you should have A.R.V, course.
T.T injection is compulsory to take, and medicines for cure of the wound.
I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms T.T injection, ofloxacin, diclofenac.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
