Hi,
Welcome to HCM!

It is only a myth that non veg food should be avoided after dog bite. It has no scientific basis and is hence certainly false.
Infact non-veg food provides you with proteins which is needed by your body to fight off infection.

So, there is no such food which should be avoided during this period.

As for dietary advice, I'd advice you to eat a balanced diet. Soyabean, egg and non-veg food will be beneficial to fight off the infection.

Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have any doubts.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
With warm regards,
Dr. Sridhar Reddy
