A member asked:
Should i get a rabies shot if i got bit by a dog?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rabies: If it is a known dog and you know it has been immunized against rabies, then no. However, if it is a strang dog with no known history, i would speak to your doctor. Attempts should be made to identify and capture the dog for testing as soon as possible.
