Dog chased me on my bike
Hello Doctors,
The Incident: I was chased by a street dog while riding my motorcycle. The dog was exclusively on the right side of my bike and i was wearing shorts
• The Contact: There was absolutely no bite and no scratch. However, I suspect the dog's breath or a drop of saliva might have landed on my right leg.
• Immediate Action: I washed my right leg thoroughly with soap and water immediately after.
• Skin Condition: I have visually inspected my right leg, and the skin is intact with no cuts, micro-abrasions, or open wounds. There was a micro scap in my ankle towards the left side of my right leg which faces the engine and I do have a tiny, dry, already-scabbed nick on my left leg, but the dog was never on that side of the bike

Based on the history, no rabies exposure in this scenario.Therefore, rabies vaccination is not indicated based on the information available. If you remain concerned or notice any overlooked skin break, please consult with me for an assessment.
