<s>[INST] Hi! I got scratched by an aggressive dog through fabric (that not did rip, but there was a scratch on my leg) about a year and a half ago. I had animal control look at the dog 10 days after the bite and they reported that the dog seemed healthy (barking, walking, etc.). I am now wondering if I should have been more concerned. Can I trust the dog was rabies free? Should I have gotten the rabies vaccine? Should I know? [/INST] Hello, THX to contact us. I understand your concern. If I am your treating doctor I advise you that as dog is under observation since 10 days, and it is not showing any signs of rabies, so there is very little chance of rabies virus in you. But if you do not want to take chance you can go for virus vaccination, it is harm less and gives you more protection. I will be happy to answer your more concern kindly know me, Wish you a very good health at Chat Doctor. Chat Doctor. Infectious Disease. </s>
