Clean the wound with soap water and then Betadine .
If dog is vaccinated and healthy, nothing to worry. If vaccinated and sick, take Rabies post exposure prophylaxis from a Govt. hospital in your vicinity as soon as possible. If unvaccinated and sick, same as above + Human Rabies immunoglobulin injection. 20 IU/kg body weight. AST.
If you have taken Rabies pep injections before, just take booster dose.
