So, if a pet dog bit someone and the dog was given a Nobivac Rabies vaccination just five months ago, is getting a TT injection going to be enough for the bite? Should there be any additional precautions or steps we should take? Also, is there anything specific we should keep an eye on after the bite?

In addition to the TT (Tetanus Toxoid) injection, it is recommended to also administer the rabies vaccine after a dog bite, especially if the dog's rabies vaccination status is not known or if it has been more than 5 months since the dog was vaccinated with Nobivac Rabies. The rabies vaccine helps prevent the development of rabies infection. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allA goat just rammed into my leg really hard, and now it's bleeding. It's pretty painful, so I'm wondering what I should do. Should I get some kind of injection or are there specific meds I need to take?
I'm sorry to hear about your injury. Clean the wound with mild soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and cover it with a sterile bandage. If the bleeding continues or if the goat wasn't vaccinated, its important to get a tetanus shot and possibly consult a doctor for further treatment.

Yes. You can have sexual relations with your wife.
