Any dietary restrictions???it was a smal scratch mark.he has no pain .nor bleeding.injury site was left lateral side of leg Doctor: Dear Friend.Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.There are no dietary restrictions after a dog bite.i would advise you to take the Rabies vaccination - full course.Also, get a tetanus vaccination.If you develop local swelling, see a doctor for antibiotics that might be required for cellulitis.This is my personal opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.Stay HealthyDr Anshul Varshney, MD
