Dog bite

There are many confusing terms and methods in treating dog bite.
But the treatment is of course very simple.
Whatever be the age..
Start rabipur antirabies vaccine with inj. TT.
Dosage is 0,3,7,14,21 days.
Also u can stop the vaccine if the dog is healthy after 5days.
Its better to start antibiotic like phexin after cleaning the bite area with betadine solution.
This is for superficial bites. But treating with iv immunoglobulins should be considered when the bite is so deep.
That's all. Matter over.
