Hi. I was bitten by my friend s dog. I can say that the dog is clean and healthy as I ve known that dog for a while. He must have bitten me when he didn t see me for a long time. I just had the 2nd dose of Rabipur. What are the chances that i will not be immunized if i wont have the last dose which is the day28/30?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Rabies is a 100% fatal disease but 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. Dog is the known reservoir of rabies virus and can transmit rabies by biting. As you were bitten by your friends pet dog for which you need to take In TT, anti rabies vaccine by intradermal route and passive immunization by equine rabies immunoglobulin (ERIC) around the wound.ERIC is advised if there is bleeding from the site of bite. As you were bitten by your friends pet dog, I would suggest you to take three doses of anti rabies vaccine and to watch the dog for 10 days. If it is healthy you don't require serum. If dog develops any symptoms of rabies you need to take equine rabies immunoglobulin (ERIC) around the wound. Thank you.
