Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Rabies is 100% fatal but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment.

As you were bit by pet dog yesterday and took a shot of TT injection and Inj Rabipur as advised by your doctor. As the dog is available for observation I would suggest you to follow
1.Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water.
2. Take active immunization with at least three doses of antirabies vaccine on days0,3 and 7.
3.Observe the dog for 10 days of the dog is healthy nothing is required, if dog develops any signs of rabies consult your doctor at the earliest.
Thank you.
