Vaccination after 2weeks?
In India stray dogs are not vaccinated. As a dog lover I usually feed dogs every other day. After moving to a new place I started feeding a new dog and patted him. He started playing with me everyday.I even gave him a name and he responded to it. 12 days back while returning after feeding him he tried to grab my leg softly using his teeth from behind playfully. After reaching home I noticed small scratch​ with as usual a little bump.There was no blood and I don t think any skin was broken.I was complete ignorant and thought this to be nothing as the dog didn't​ have any warning signs.I only washed it with soap. Since 1 week I am unable to find him anymore.This made me a little concerned and then I started reading on the internet .And now I m completely terrified about this as maybe the dog has died of rabies.Can I take vaccination now to not get rabies?or is it too late? If not late then what kind of treatment should I take ? I have taken one anti tetanus shot 2 months back.please help

Hello there. I can understand your concern. Chances are the dog disappeared because of some other reason. The chances of you having rabies are slim because you haven't had any symptoms till now. But i would still suggest you get vaccinated to be on a safer side and also for protection in future. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore. #AgainstAssaultOnDoctors
