Can I Consume Non-veg Diet While On Anti-rabies Vaccination For Dog Bite?

I was bitten by astray pup about 8 months old on my leg & had a small wound .
I went to a hospital where they cleaned the wound & administered an ATS & anti-rabid injection & asked me to give for 2 more anti-rabid injections after 3 days gaps.Is this Okay & is it true that no non-veg is to be taken until this period of completing the injections.Would appreciate your advice.

Thanks for post your query to HCM.
There is no dite restriction during vaccination for rabies . You are not suffering from rabies you are only taking vaccine as a prophylaxis for rabies . No need to worry you can take your regular dite. However you should watch the boitten dog for 10 days if he died during that period you should take complete dose of vaccination i.e. 5 doses on 0 ,3 ,7, 14, 30th day and booster dose on 90 day.
take care of local wound also.
good luck , get well soon.
