Q. A 35-year-old man comes to your clinic after sustaining a dog bite on his left calf an hour ago. The patient reports that the dog, which belongs to his neighbor, is up-to-date with all its vaccinations, including rabies. He also confirms that he received a tetanus booster two years ago.
His vitals are normal. Physical examination shows a small superficial laceration of 2x2 cm on his left lateral calf just below the knee with no significant bleeding.
What is the most appropriate management for this patient?
