Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The disease which is transmitted by dog bite is rabies which is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable with proper and adequate treatment. The treatment of any animal bite includes1. Thorough wound wash under running water for 15 mins with the detergents.2. Antirabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28. The vaccine should be administered intramuscular to the deltoid.3. Rabies immunoglobulin (Rigs), should be administered in and around the biting wound on day of bite.4. Inj Tetanus5. Oral Antibiotics like Tab Autoclave 625 mg for five days. Thank you.
