Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The dog bite should be managed properly because the disease transmitted by dog is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable with proper and timely treatment. As there was no bleeding following the bite, it will categorize int Cat II according to WHO classification. The Cat II bite requires proper wound wash and antirabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28. The antirabies vaccine and the In Raipur is one and the same, and you have given proper injection. Diabetes is not contraindicated for in Raipur. I would suggest you to give your father1. Antirabies vaccine as per the schedule2. Oral Antibiotics like Tab Augmenting for 5daysThank you.
