HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that if the dog is not infected with rabies and this is not the deep wound then no need to worry about this, just you need to keep an eye on the dog if it dies then you need to go for vaccination, take care and have a nice day.
