Hello Anshu,
You’re SAFE, since the scratch came from your own fully vaccinated dog and you took the rabies vaccine within 24 hours, there is no need to worry.
Rabies is 100% preventable when the vaccine is given correctly and on time, as you’ve done.
🛑Just make sure to complete the full vaccine schedule (usually on Day 0, 3, 7, and 14). Rabies immunoglobulin isn’t needed in your case because the scratch was minor, and the dog is healthy and vaccinated.
🛑Keep observing your dog for 10 days; if it stays healthy, there’s no rabies risk at all.
YOU ARE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT, No EXTRA TREATMENT NEEDED
I hope this helps Thank you
