My wife is playing with 2 month old pomarenian dog and is bitten on the calf (above the heel). The dog dont have anti rabies injection yet. Does it mean that wife will be vaccinated. She did not clean the wound after the bite. This is the third day now.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Rabies is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment and this is transmitted by dog bite. As your wife was bitten by a 2-month-old dog while playing over the calf which was not vaccinated against rabies and first aid treatment was not given. The first thing to be done following the dog bite is thorough washing of the wound which was not done. For your wife condition I would suggest her to follow1. Active immunization with antirabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28.2. Passive immunization with Rigs around the wound, if there is an any bleeding.3. Oral antibiotic like Tab Autoclave, twice daily4. Topical Metro ointment. Thank you.
