Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you were bitten by a dog which has led to wound over the leg, dog is known to transmit rabies, which is 100 % fatal, but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. As there was no bleeding from the site, according WHO categorization it is categorized into Cat II, Which requires following treatment.1. Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water to wash out the rabies virus if it is present in and around the wound.2. Active immunization with anti rabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28.3. Inj TT, if you have not received in last five years.4. Topical application of TB act ointment. The aforementioned measures will help to prevent development of rabies. Thank you.
