Patient: please help me out ,i have bitten by a small puppy althouth the mother of the puppy is immunized... wat steps to take ??? infact, my injuries is too small .... jst a normal scratch.. but have pain .. when i used to wash it soap and water ,! kindly suggest me sumthing good . my number is 0000 Doctor: Puppies are more notorious than dogs as far as transmission of rabies is concerned.Yours is a Category 1 exposure. You have also done the first-aid - washing the scratch site with soap and water. However, to be on the safer side, you need to take the anti-rabies vaccine. The vaccine is to be taken on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 90.
