As you have been bit by your pet poodle. As there was a bleeding from the site of bite it is categorized into Cat III bite according to WHO categories and it is necessary to take both the active and passive immunization with Antirabies vaccine and Antirabies serum respectively. You have to take both antirabies vaccine and antirabies serum, You have to receive all the doses of antirabies vaccine on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28 (If your pet poodle is healthy after three dose of vaccine, you can discontinue the antirabies vaccine) and antirabies serum (Rabies immunoglobulin) on day 0 in and around the wound.In addition to this you should take Inj TT and antibiotic like tab Augmentin for 5 days. Thank you. </s>
