Dog bit in middle of anti rabies course
My pet puppy bit me two weeks back. She has not had her vaccinations. My doctor told me to do a 0/7/28th day anti rabies course. My 7th day vaccination was one week back. 2 days ago puppy bit me again. Since I am in the middle of taking vaccinations, is there any risk? I am really worried. Please advise.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
It's not necessary that the puppy would be having rabies.
Rabies would spread only by a bite of a rabid dog.
You just need to continue the whole course of anti-rabies vaccination as it was prescribed.
No change in that.
And don't get bitten by any more days.
Best regards.
