Brief Answer:
Can you track down the dog?
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. There are two things to consider:
* If you can track the dog and if the dog seems hale and hearty even after 10 days or more after the bite, you need not take further doses as you are not at risk. Had the dog been rabid, the dog should be already dead by now, or at least grossly sick. If that is not the case you need not worry.
* If you need you can opt for any other anti-rabies vaccine and not necessarily Rabipur.
Feel free to write back.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Other brands will suffice
Detailed Answer:
Stop panicking. It will only make your BP worse. There should be other brands of anti-rabies vaccine and that should serve the purpose.
