The boy should be treated irrespective of the condition of the dog with PEP including vaccination and local wound treatment, Immunoglobulins may be used in Category 3 bite. The dog should be observed for 10 days, and if the dog remains healthy throughout the period, PEP may be discontinued. However, PEP should NOT be withheld.
