Thanks for asking to Healthcaremagic.I understand your concern.
Brief Answer:No specific diet restrictions or procedures needed.Also you don't need injection on 21st day.
Detailed Answer:
In my opinion,there is no need of any particular dietary restriction or procedure to be followed with modern vaccines available now except to limit heavy alcohol consumption,which may cause agitation,palpitations mimic rabies symptoms psychologically.If the bitten dog remains healthy for a period of 10 days,you may avoid further post-exposure prophylaxis.Anyway if i was your physician,would advise to take the 5th injection on 28th day. Hope I have answered your question. If any further queries, wish to answer you
