Hello , very unfortunate to get bitten by stray dog .. But instead of worrying you can act smart . Taker proper care , keep yourself hydrated and to avoid any issues in future please complete all 5 doses of Anti Rabies ( ARV ) with a gap of 0,3 ,7,14,28 ..
It will be helpful to save you from any risk of Rabies in future and can cover you for longer also
Next Steps
Complete all 5 doses of ARV
