That dog was street dog.so kindly advice. Doctor: Hello, thank you for your contact to health care magic. If I am your doctor I suggesting you that as you have taken a good primary care chances of you getting rabies decreases. Though some 0.01 % chance is there for rabies. You can track the dog for 10 days if he is not missing for 10 days than it has no virus in his body, and so you are complete free from infection.If you have to ask me anything you can contact me. Dr Arun Tank. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
