Thanks for your question. I do understand your pain and discomfort. I have seen many cases with similar complaints. Please find my advice below:
1) No need to take it as pet is not rabies
2) Check whether he is taking TT in timely as per immunisation schedule or not?
I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you all the best.
Thanks,
