I was playing with a pet Labrador dog 2 days before. The dog usually gets very excited and he smashed on my hand. I suspect that I got bit by him as today I noticed there are small wound marks on my hand. I am not sure if I got accidentally bit by him. I would like to know if I should take the vaccine and if yes then as 2 days are already passed is it going to be effective. Please also share the cost of the treatment along with the vaccine cost.

Immunised pet dogs might also carry rabies virus. The dogs lick their feet and the feet can carry Rabies virus. So I advise you to take Rablpur vaccine on 0 .3 7, 14 and 20 the day after the dog blue / scratch.
