Our dog bite my son on his lower lip yesterday, there was bleeding. Our dog is vaccinated. We consulted the doctor and my son was given a TT injection and a rabipur injection. Doctor has advised for the complete five dosage of rabipur. Today morning they suggested he should be given the serum (one is a horse one and the other human). Horse serum may have reaction is what they and say. Later we consulted our verternary doctor (dogs doctor) and he says that is all not required, even the rabipur dosage is not required. We have now given only the TT and one dosage of rabipur to my son. Please suggest if we have to give him the serum and continue with the remaining Rabipur
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor, I understand your query and concern. Dog bite should not be neglected it needs immediate treatment. So far you have given correct treatment. Follow your physician. Even though your dog is vaccinated we can't take the risk of leaving. Do not worry continue with your doctor s advise. Give immunoglobulins as well as other doses of Raipur. Do not worry. Consult your doctor for expert management and follow up. Hope I have answered your query at the moment. Post your further queries if any, Thank you
