I have a 5 month old dog. He has been vaccinated for rabies twice now. 2 days ago his tooth rubbed against my toe while playing as he punched on my toe, and the upper layer of my skin came off. Last night I felt itchiness in it and I added antiseptic on it and it got resolved. Do I need do get vaccinated also?

Good morning . It is not absolutely necessary, but you could take a T.Toxoid injection if you haven't in the last 10 years. Also if the dog is not sick and doesn't go out much ,the need to worry is less. However , you need to watch the dog for any health and behaviour change for the next few days. Secondly, whenever the dog bites, licks or scratches kindly wash off the area with soap and water. Screathes can be cleaned again with povidone iodine(betadine solution) Take Care.
