Apply gentle but continuous pressure to the bleeding area and bleeding should stop in three minutes. Observe the puppy for TEN DAYS Start your Anti Rabies Vaccination (Vero Cell Vaccine - Day 0 (Day of the bite), Day 3 and Day 7) If the puppy is asymptomatic (No aggressive behaviour, frothing at the mouth, feeding well and no signs of extreme weakness or loss of conciousness), then you can take a fourth dose of the vaccine on the 28th day followed by a booster dose one year after the First dose of the Anti Rabies vaccine. I strongly advise you to have all your pets immunised as soon as possible.
