[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Rabies is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable with proper and adequate treatment. As the dog has bitten you 2 days back and the owner is claiming that dog was given all the necessary vaccines, still you need to give your daughter both antirabies vaccine and antirabies serum. By the description of the wound it was a lacerated wound which was sutured, suturing is contraindicated in dog bite it can be sutured only after administration of antirabies serum. Antirabies vaccine should be taken on days 0,3,7,14 and 28. The vaccine should be given to the deltoid by intramuscular route. The antirabies serum or rabies immunoglobulin should be given in and around the wound as early as possible. I would suggest you to follow aforementioned treatment as soon as possible by contacting your doctor. Thank you.
