Hello lybrate-user, the way you are describing the wound is not clear, if there is a scratch, I want to know if there is any abrasion, it will be better if you send me a pic so that I can see for myself. Previously you got vaccinated 4 months ago, now if there is a scratch by an animal you will have to take anti rabies vaccine again. It is called as re-exposure prophylaxis. Usually after 3 months of vaccination if there is a dogbite we recommend this re-exposure prophylaxis. I will suggest you to take rx inj. Rabipur single site i.m (intra muscular) on day 0 and day 3. Thank you have a nice day.
