Dog Rabies Post-Exposure Prophylaxis: Immediate Veterinary Assessment, Vaccination Series, Wound Care, and Observation
If your dog is bitten by a potentially rabid animal, immediately consult a veterinarian.
The vet will assess and administer rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP): a series of rabies vaccinations over a specific period to prevent rabies development if the biting animal was rabid. Additional measures may include wound care, antibiotics, and observation for rabies signs.
Prompt veterinary attention is crucial for your dog's safety and well-being.
