Dear Madam, Thanks for posting your query on HCM I appreciate your concern for the suspected dog bite. I have gone through the problem described in your query. I am of the opinion that this dog bite is considered as Category II – nibbling of uncovered skin, minor scratches or abrasions without bleeding. So, you must take anti rabies vaccine intramuscularly (deltoid muscle of the arm) immediately as per the following scheduled days: 0, 3, 7, 14, and 30. Meanwhile the said dog should be observed for the signs and symptoms of rabies like foaming at the mouth, disorientation, incoordination and staggering may occur, caused by paralysis of the hind legs. Other classic signs of rabies include loss of appetite, weakness, seizures and sudden death. If the dog is found to be health after days of exposure (bite) you may discontinue taking the anti rabies vaccine. Hope the suggestion given above could be useful in getting the prevention of rabies. A feed back is appreciated.
