What to do if you are bitten by a dog and have symptoms after vaccination

The mortality rate of rabies is 100%. It should be fine now! If you don't feel at ease, go to the CDC and have a look!

What should I do if a dog that has been vaccinated is bitten by another dog?

Generally, there is no problem, I have immune antibodies, and I will not be infected with the rabies virus. Not every dog carries the rabies virus.

If the bite is severe, it should be treated as a trauma to avoid inflammation.

Small wounds are generally cleaned with hydrogen peroxide, disinfected, rubbed with powder or injected.

If the wound is too large, it is best to take it to the pet hospital for stitches, stitches, cleaning, and anti-inflammatory.

Dogs often fight with other dogs when they go out, although pet dogs are not as aggressive as wild dogs, but when occupying territory and mating rights, even the most docile dogs will fight with other dogs. When the dog's strength is weak, it is easy to be bullied and bitten by the other party. Therefore, when the dog fights, the owner should tighten the leash to stop the fight.

After being bitten, the owner needs to check the dog's wound, if the wound is relatively shallow and not very serious, first cut the hair around the dog's wound, and then wash the wound with normal saline. Then disinfect with hydrogen peroxide or iodine, and finally sprinkle the pet quickly, and wrap it with sterile gauze.

After rabies vaccination, antibodies are produced in the body, but the antibodies are effectively maintained for a short period of time. According to the "Rabies Exposure Prevention and Treatment Work Specification (2009 Edition)" and "Rabies Prevention and Control Technical Guidelines (2016 Edition)", if you are bitten by a dog again within three months after completing 5 doses of full vaccination, you can not be vaccinated against rabies; If you are bitten by a dog again within three months to one year, you need to receive 2 doses; If you are bitten by a dog again within one to three years, you need to receive 3 doses; If you are bitten by a dog again in more than three years, you need to be fully vaccinated against rabies.

The current statistics are in developed countries such as the United States, because the management of pet dogs is relatively strict, they will be vaccinated against rabies since childhood, so now the rabies cases caused by pet dogs have been less than 5%, but despite this low, doctors will never let go.

In short, if you don't feel at ease, then fight, and you should do what you spend money to keep safe.

Get the shot right away. Don't have any illusions, you have to think carefully, the cost of luck is too great and there is no cure. I had no choice but to spend some money.

I was bitten by my own pet dog, however, my dog is fully vaccinated.
