Hello,

History of dog bite.
The dog is your pet and it is not vaccinated against rabies.
In this scenario observation of the animal for any symptoms of rabies is important.
You have started one dose of anti rabies vaccination for post exposure prophylaxis. It is better to complete the full course.
