if the dog is infected with rabies, it is best to seek medical attention immediately after the biting happened. but if unsure of the dog's state, you are given a 10 day grace period to observe the dog and the victim.

∙ 14y agoDo not know the amount of time a person has to get medical attention but if you know the cat is rabid when you came in contact with it in some way you DO NOT want to wait to see a physician. Even if you DON'T KNOW if the cat has rabies, you should still seek medical attention straight away if you came in contact with a stray cat that may not have had rabies shots. You just don't know if that cat has rabies unless you catch the cat in a trap and take it to the vets for observation or testing which requires the cat to be euthanized. Rabies is a serious matter that can kill you. Do not wait to get to a physician. That's why ALL pet owners, especially those who allow their pets to roam freely should get ALL of their animals vaccinated for rabies to protect their family, other people, their animals, and other animals so that pet owners do their part in preventing the spread of rabies.

What would you have done if a mad dog had bitten you?
Wash the wound well with soap and water, and get immediate medical attention. Make every effort to have someone safely corral or kill the animal so the animal can be examined to verify it has rabies. The treatment is not as horrific as in the olden days, when injections had to be made into the abdominal cavity, but it does entail a series of vaccine injections, started as soon as possible. If the animal tests show the animal is not rabid, you need only have the first couple of shots. If you are bitten by a rabid animal and do not get immediate medical attention, death is almost certain.
