Common Conditions

My mom got bitten by a 3-4 months dog while feeding it accidentally bitten to my moms finger and there was little blood. After that mom took titenash and then after consulting hospital doctor prescribed to take 3 doses of anti rabies. Mom took second dose on Thursday. Now today we're sharing food and I ate same food , using same spoon which may touched her tounge or saliva. So Am I also danger of rabies? Should I need to take anti rabies too?

Hi all, due to my pet dog's frequent nibbling issue I had a series of shots taken in July 27,31& Aug 4 (0,3,7) . After three doses I have taken another single shot of vaccine on September 7 and Oct 31. So total 5 shots in last 4 months . My recent exposure to a stray dog licking my finger tip while I was feeding it and I unknowingly used the same finger to eat 2mins later caused me panic and made go for rabies vaccination again. Now currently 0,3,7 on Jan 4,7,11 are done while first two were in gluteal . My two concerns 1. Since my pet dog is vaccinated and rabid free and still health can I consider my earlier 5 doses as PrEP dose and will it give me immunity 2. With the current course shall I retake my day 0,3 since they're given in gluteal . Or is it okay to carryon with further doses ?

One week ago, A stranger dog licked my hand, no wound on my hand and by mistake i put that hand into my mouth after 15-20 minutes. Today i got sore throat. Should i get rabies vaccine or not?

I have 2 Months old puppy. He faced severe hair fall and itchiness when he's one Month old and we've taken to VET. Puppy lost most of the hair in the body and legs. Doctor told that is scabies and given some medications such as cephalexin, permathrin, might take few weeks to recover. I followed every medication but the condition is Not improving. I see some black dots like hyperpigmentation in the skin where there's no hair. I can see some hair growth in legs. Is this a improvement? What can I do to come out of this since my puppy is struggling so much!

I accidentally got scratched by a dog, but there is no visible bleeding on my leg. However, I completed a full course of the rabies vaccination one year ago. I would like to know if it is necessary to take the rabies vaccine again in this situation. Kindly advise.

I reside in Mumbai & checking to see whether the veternary services available are restricted to dogs or cats or does it cater to other animals? The reason I ask is because we found a nest in our house which was what we presume either infant Squirrel or Rat (unsure about what it was) it was so tiny the eyes also have not opened up but it was making sounds & moving hence we could identify it's existence. At that time we could not think of anything since we believe the squirrel must have laid this & never returned as there was no source to climb back in the gallery to where the nest was. We cdnt take risk of keeping it (at the time was unsure of exactly what it is) and we kept it downstairs in our building temporarily. I am not sure how do we go about it since I haven't really dealt with something of this sort earlier in my life. We wanted to save the baby however with mother not returning back we dont find a way to do that. What do you suggest in this case assuming the babies are fine?
