How Can A Dog Scratch Be Treated?
Hi, I got a small couple scratches on my back from the family dog today. No blood and an examination at a clinic said there was superficial damage. The dog has had its rabies shot booster 4 months prior. I probably worry too much, but is there a possibility for rabies? I m fairly certain they said the skin was not broken by the scratch. Thank you.
