My advised is don't take any risk and go for full vaccination.also take take Tetanus toxoid prophylaxis and immunoglobulin.Immunoglobulin needs local wound infiltration as well(half of the dose).The wound needs excision of the bile areas and leave the wound open or approximate with steristrips only.
Cnfind the dog for 3 days as well..
