If the dog that bit you cannot be located for observation or testing, post exposure shots should be given. Contact your doctor. They will notify the Department of State Health Services that the shots are required. If the dog can be located and observed it will quarantined for 10 days from the time of the bite. If the dog is alive and well at the end of the observation time there is no need for the shots. If the dog becomes ill or dies during the observation period, it will be tested to see if the illness or death was caused by rabies. If the test is negative, no shots. If rabies is detected you will need the shots.

Can you tell if a dog has up to date rabies shots if you don't see a tag, or know the answers? No, so if you are bitten by any dog you don't know, when you go to the hospital (and you WILL, unless you have ready access to lots of gauze, potent antibiotics and powerful painkillers.) Dog bites HURT, and require treatment.

∙ 8y agoIf you do not know the dog or if the dog had been abnormally aggressive, you should get the vaccine promptly. There is a good chance the dog does not have rabies, and even if it does, you are not guaranteed to get the infection. But you must get the vaccine before any symptoms show. One rabies symptoms appear it is already too late.

∙ 6y agoNo. Technically not. But the immunization status of the dog has to verified. Depending on the nature of the dog bite, I will like to give anti-rabies injections or not. But the dog need to be observed for 8 days. If the dog is OK, there is no problem to you.
