My vaccinated dog bit me. Do I need another human rabies shot?

Since he has had his rabies vaccination, you do not need to be worried. You do not need ARV. You do, however, need to be worried that you could get a skin infection. Just keep the wounds clean as it looks like you have done. If you notice any major redness, pain or swelling around the bite areas you need to see your human doctor.

Your question is a human medical question, which we are not qualified to answer. You need to check with your human doctor about taking the rabies vaccines. In terms of your dog, if he had rabies, he would have been dead by now if he had it three months ago when he bit you.

I am sorry to hear about your concern for your puppy. The answer to this question will depend on the circumstances. If this is a puppy you do not know/a stray/from an uknown home then I would recommend contacting your human physician. If this is your puppy who has been in your care with no exposure to wildlife and who is acting normally/healthy then the concern for rabies is very low but it does look like there is a puncture in your skin so I would recommend consulting your human doctor as we can develop bacterial infections due to dog bites and your doctor can advise you if treatment is necessary.

Hello, thank you for your question about Romeo. Although I cannot say for sure what the laws are regarding this matter in India. As long as the dog didn't break the skin and is up to date on his vaccines, the boy should not need any vaccinations. However, I do recommend discussing this matter with a human physician. Hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Austin has had his rabies vaccine you should be fine. But you should contact your local health department and talk to a human physician. If Austin has Rabies in the transmissible form (in the salivary glands) then he will show neurologic signs for rabies with in 10 days. Keep him quarantined for 10 days. If he dies from any cause he should be tested for Rabies if it is before the 10 days quarantine. Always keep your pets up to date on rabies and prevent them interacting with wild life and unvaccinated pets. I wish you the best!

This bite wound should be considered infected and ideally seen by your human doctor as antibiotics may be needed. If your dog was vaccinated against rabies and vaccination was still active, then there no risk of this specific infection.

Hello. If Bella received a proper vaccination from her veterinarian, then there is no need to worry at all about your sister getting rabies. If the vaccine was not properly administered by a licensed veterinarian, the Bella might be able to be quarantined as required by your local municipality. Here in the US, an unvaccinated dog is quarantined at a holding facility ( often a veterinary facility ) for 10 days. If no symptoms, then no need to worry.
