Hello,
For dog scratches, I would suggest you to take anti Rabies vaccine after physician consultation.
You may require dosage on day 0,3,7,14,28 as per evaluation.
Till then for pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Clean it with soap.
Hope I have answered your query..
Let me know if I can assist you further.
