HI.. MY DOG is vaccinated anti-rabies already so when i go him outside the house he have no leash then 1 day there are some dogs running with him and i think 1 of them bite my dog in ear. my question is can my dog have rabies even if he was injected anti-rabies before? i noticed now after 5 days that hes becoming aggressive and sometimes attack me and bite me but with clothes on, theres no bite size in the part im bitten. Im experiencing numbing of the part bitten. Im bitten before by my dog when he was young and me and my dog didnt experienced anything. thats why i dont worry now. should i worry now? the only thing i noticed to my dog is the aggressiveness and sometimes choking.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, If you have given full antirabies vaccination to your dog, then chance of getting rabies to your dog will be less but if it is partially immunized definitely there will be a chance of getting rabies to your dog. The dog having rabies virus can easily transmit to the human beings after biting, but it cannot be made out whether biting dog is having rabies or not by seeing the dog. As your dog is having some features of rabies it is very difficult to make out by the history. But I would suggest you to not ignore but to take 1. Inj Tetanus2. Antirabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28 days.3. If it is changing behavior rapidly, you need to take antirabies serum (Passive Immunization). Thank you.
