[|Human|] I was bitten by a 4-month old puppy owned by our neighbor. The puppy seems very healthy and active like normal. The owner said she was vaccinated about 1-2 weeks ago with anti-rabies vaccine. The parents of the dog was also said to be well taken cared of and not left astray. It is already the 3rd day since i was bitten, do you think i need to have anti-rabies vaccine for myself even if the puppy looked healthy until now?How long does the anti-rabies vaccine  take effect for dogs since she was just vaccinated 2 weeks ago?Im wondering if the vaccine already took effect on the dog when she bit me..pls.help..Thanks.
[|AI|]  Hithank you for asking your concern and welcome to Chat Doctor. I would, you make you assure that you need not take anti rabies injection at all based on your description given. I would like to tell you there are few things where we should be more careful about when to think of taking ARV.1. Stray dog bite2. History of biting to many people3. Unprovoked bite4. Oozing of blood from the bite mark5. Bite on already existed wound6. Bite on face7. Bite by non vaccinated login your case there is hardly anything to get worried. There are few things to take care of.1. Wash the bite mark under running tap water, even now it is ok if you have not done it.2. Injection tetanus is must if not taken within last 3 years3. Observe dog for 10 days if it dies you have to take ARV. That can be taken on 11th day also.4. No need to take antibiotics if wound is clean and small I hope I answered your concern. Feel free to ask any doubts. Thank you regards Chat Doctor.
