A pet dog scratched a man. No bleeding. should we advised him for anti rabies vaccine? plz share your suggestions
If the dog was vaccinated then no need to be ARV given to victim. Just calendula Q washing. Is sufficient. If not then we should take first two doses of ARV then watch for dog. If ALL IS well then no need to be further dose
Scratching with nail may contain virus as like biting and saliva, I have heard about cases who are victims of rabies even with vaccinated dogs which was contacted with saliva, if something like nail scratch, bite or even saliva never fail to vaccinate rather than thinking whether it could contain virus or not let's be cautious and prevent.
Thank you so much Dr.Akshay sir
