Should Injections Be Taken If Bitten By A Small Dog Which Died Due To Injuries ?
3 days before a small street dog of age 1 month was badly wounded by big dogs of street and before death he cut to my wife in hand . These all happen 3 days before. I am confident that the small dog died because by badly injured by big dogs. Should my wife take injections by bitten a small dog? Will injections effect if we take after passing 3 days? If I inter-coursed with my wife then I should also take injections?

1. If Immunization status of the dog is not known,start immunization immediately, Don't take RISK as Rabies has no cure.
2. If Dog is unknown or is killed: give full immunization as for rabies.
