Hello, Thank you for your question and welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query and I understand your concern. Rabies post exposure prophylaxis is an emergency, and it should not be delayed. Prophylaxis may be discontinued if the animal involved remains healthy for an observation period of 10 days. I recommend you to initiate anti rabies vaccination and meanwhile observe the dog within 10 days.Also, I recommend you to take tetanus toxic vaccine, if the most recent tetanus vaccine is greater than five years ago. Take care of the wound. You should take antibiotics if the wound become infected. Hope I helped with my answer. For further concerns or follow-up questions, feel free to write again, I will be pleased to answer you again. Take care,
