my dog has bitten a lady and my dogs vaccination date has expired i was very busy for some days so couldnt take my dog for vaccination.The lady immediately washed her leg with soap and water later she also used salt to wash it moreover, I want to know does anything happens if a dog bites in the month of september and how many injections does she has to take
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As your dog has bitten a female following which she has washed the bite area with soap and water. Washing is the primary step in management of dog bite. As you have not vaccinated your dog properly, it can transmit rabies to her. Rabies is a deadly disease which is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. The month of biting has no relevance in transmitting the disease. For her if there is any bleeding also I would suggest her to follow1. Active immunization with antirabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28.2. Passive immunization with rabies immunoglobulins should be taken in and around the bite site.3. In TT, should be taken if it is not taken in last five years.4. A course of antibiotics like Augmenting should be taken to prevent the infection. Thank you.
