Dear User,
1. Since the dog was aggressive we must assume it had rabies.
2. Even a bite by an animal which is not aggressive, like a cat can cause
rabies.
3. I recommend "Ranbaxy Diagnostics" company (5 ml injection) costing
1,780 Rs. It is a good company. It has a Daichi Japan collaboration.
4. Immediately take the course of injections. Do it right now.
Thanks for asking,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar.
