Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that injection given three years before was not working right now in your dog that is was I feel. The dog is I think your pet dog and it is in front of you. So there are no question of worry. Because after a bite of 10 days or so if dog ran away than you think of rabies virus in the dog. But even for safety purpose I advice you to take rabies shots under your treating doctors consultation. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Thanx. Dr. Arun Tank
