6 days back I was bitten by geese (a big rat ). My finger bleed. When I went to one of doctors he advised me for tetanus injection as well as anti rabies injection. I injected tetanus vaccine but did not injected anti rabies one. So should I undergo anti rabies? If yes how many vaccines?

You should have taken anti rabies treatment on the day of rat bite for protection of rabies. However you can start taking 5 doses of ARV now after consulting physician.
