Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Rabies is a disease transmitted by dog bite which is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. As you were nail scratched by a dog on your left hand which has led to bleeding from that site, and you have properly washed the wound with water and taken a shot of In TT, according to WHO it is categorized into Cat III which requires following treatment.1. Active immunization with antirabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28.2. Passive immunization with Rigs around the wound.3. Oral antibiotic like Tab Augmenting, twice daily4. Topical Tract ointment. Thank you.
