The first and foremost thing to do after a rabid dog bite is to wash the wound clean multiple times and not to get it sutured. Next get vaccinated. there are different regimen for rabies vaccine. Do as instructed and get complete course of vaccination done. There is no diet restrictions as such, you are free to eat any food you like. Take care not to miss any vaccination.
