46 hrs ago, I was bitten by a cat (not domestic nor vaccinated) on my thumb finger. It was a minor cut and no pain no swelling in that area. Immediately I have cleaned it with running water and applied dettol. Within 20 hrs I have taken a tetanus injection too. Also I am taking homeopathic drug lyssin 200 (3 times per day). Should I take anti rabid injections or what shall do further? My wound is small and not deep. It is all most healed. Please let me know your suggestions. Thanks doc.
