I have a pet dog. One day when I was playing with her unfortunately one of her teeth get in on one of my finger and blood comes out of it. The dog was not vaccinated. After that I went to our university health centre. And told the incident to the doctor. He asked me two question. Do you know the dog. I said yes then he asked me where the dog lives. I said with me. Then he said no need to take the injection. The incident happened about a week back. But still I am wandering have I did a mistake by not taking the injection.

The idea is if the dog is alive for 10 days after biting that means the dog is not infected and it cannot transmit rabies germs to you. As you have the pet dog and the dog is not vaccinated, its mistake. so atleast now pay more attention and take interest in the dog as well as the family members including yourself get vaccination done for the dog and you also take the injections, so that its can prevent infection for the future bites, because you cannot predict the behaviour of the pet animal every time. good luck

You should observe the dog for 10 days whether it develops any sick symptoms. But meanwhile you should take vaccine 3 doses on 1st day, 4th day and 8th day.

Better to get vaccinated take 5 doses of rabipur to be safe.
