If your dog is fully vaccinated, nothing to worry about getting rabies, of course the wound has to be taken care of. First thing is always wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water, inj tetanus toxoid, if wound is infected as there is swelling, start tab cepodem 200 twice a day, tab signoflam twice a day. Betadine lotion, apply locally.
