Thanks for reaching out. I will strongly recommend that you take the vaccine course beacuse rabies is a very severe disease with very high mortality rate, please don't take any risk. Also you may check your rabies antibody titre by blood testing then if the report indicates low, then you will have to take the full course again. Please clean the wound with antiseptic solution and apply a bandage/ band aid during the daytime. Take care.

Dear lybrate-user, thanks for reaching out since rabies in normal looking dogs is quite common, I will suggest that you take the vaccines again but a short course is needed. You can consult me for details otherwise go to your nearest clinic for the same.
Please clean the wound with soap and water and betadine solution and get vaccines immediately take care.
