Suggest treatment for scratch by puppy
Patient: Hi,I have had a complete course of rabies vaccinations in my teen ages, now i have a puppy at home, and got scratched by her teeth while playing, i have already take a shot last week for the same reason that her teeth scratched me while playing, do i need to take another shot? Doctor: Welcome to HCM.Scratch by teeth nails by animals which bleeds needs immunisation by rabies vaccination.Since you have mentioned that it was not a stray dog i hope that it has been vaccinated.I would like to know the exact site where teeth had scratch you.If it is located near face or palm of hands would advice you to have a vaccination injection.Otherwise in other site last week vaccination is adequate.Thanks.regards
