[|Human|] I was bitten by a medium size dog a week ago. He bit the top of my hand and would not let go. There was almost no punctures because the teeth were dull. But the hand is still very tender. I did not go to doctors at the time. Should i have it checked?
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Rabies is a disease which is also transmitted by bite of the monkey, it is a 100% fatal disease, but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. As you were bitten by a dog on the hand, and it has not led to any bleeding, according to WHO categorizes it has been categorized into Cat II. Cat II requires active immunization with antirabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28 (if the dog is healthy you can stop the vaccine after the third dose). The vaccine should be taken to the shoulder by the intramuscular route. You need to take a shot of tetanus injection too. The aforementioned treatment will protect you against developing the disease rabies. Thank you.
