Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As your son was bitten by a pet dog which has led to bleeding from the site of the bite for which your doctor has advised anti rabies vaccine and tetanus injection. As you have mentioned in the history that there is infection in the site of bite. According to WHO categorization this is categorized into Cat III, which requires1. Active immunization with antirabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28.2. Passive immunization with Rigs around the wound. If there is a heavy bleeding the wound can be sutured after this.3. Oral antibiotic like Tab Autoclave, twice daily for five days.4. Topical Metro ointment. Thank you
