Vaccinated dog bite
My 5 YO son got scratch in fingertip by teeth of a friend’s vaccinated pet dog on 12Aug. Dog is fully vaccinated and good health. Friend said, no worries as the dog is vaccinated and there was no visible blood. I did not even wash the scratch. Now,on 19Aug (7 days later) my son had loose motion. My wife has phobia of dogs and she connected the two events (she is paranoid). So, on 20th Aug we went to doc. Doc said, we should get vaccinated on day 0. But, we can start our vaccine now also and the stomach issue is not related. Said if the dog is fine for 10 days, there is no worry. Yet, she gave VAXI RAB- N on the thighs on 20th. She asked to come on 27th for the next dose.
Dog is OK as of now. So, I have 2 queries:
1. If dog is OK after 10 days, should I stop worrying?
2. Vaccine is given on- 0, 3 7, 14, 28. But, we took the 1st dose on 8th day. So, next dose should be on 3rd day from now or 7th day from now? Doc suggested 3 doses- and next dose is after 7 days. M confused
