Whenever you bit by dog primary precaution is that you have to do washing with water and soap. never do stitching or apply bandage. this will allow rabies virus to enter into the neurons. go for rabies virus vaccine and tt injection. start antibiotics like co amoxiclav. as you are mentioning bite is complete. probably it has cut your nerves as well as blood supply. you should consult surgeon regarding that. try to reconstruct the nerves and blood supply.
