My dog has 3 anti rabies vaccination and just scraped his teeth on my finger. He has bit me before so i have taken multiple shots for that. So should I take an injection again or only clean and disinfectant it?

Just clean and disinfectant the area if it is too deep go for anti-tetanus injection, rabies booster once in a year is enough for humans also

It is just a scrape and skin has been scraped a little. So should I follow your above instructions or still go a shot

I just adopted a Shih Tzu who is 10 months old. He lived with other pups. Got him today and he hasn't eaten or passed loo or poo.. from the time we got him home. Will he be okay. Is this normal in the breed? I have had other big breeds this is the first time with shih Tzu so am confused as am facing the situation first time.
