Ich verbrachte diesen Tag damit, in Tskaltubo herumzulaufen, und gegen Ende wurde ich von einem nicht gekennzeichneten streunenden Hund angesprochen, der begann, mir zu folgen. Es war freundlich, aber ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob es mich gebissen oder mein Bein geleckt hat. Ich glaube, ich habe es ein paar Mal ziemlich nah bei mir gespürt. Später bemerkte ich, dass ich mir im Laufe des Tages ein paar Kratzer am Bein zugezogen hatte, und begann, mir Sorgen wegen Tollwut zu machen. Bin ich zu paranoid oder sollte ich eine Tollwutimpfung bekommen? Wenn ja, wo bekomme ich es in Kutaissi?

of course you should
Go get a vaccine shot asap
So where do I go? Google doesn’t really give me any clear answers regarding where to get the rabies shot in Kutaisi.
Better safe than sorry
Definitely get shots. Rabies has a 99.9% mortality rate if you don’t get the shots in time, so even if the risk of the dog having rabies is low, you should get them.
You will need 5 over a period of 31 days. The first one should be administered as soon as possible. I don’t know where to get them in Kutaisi but I’m sure there are medical clinics there.
Get the shots dude it’s free
Just catch this dog and care him 3 days if he alive no worry. If he die… too late and anyway we all die some day. Seriously, rabies is not transmitted through scratches. They are too insignificant for anything to get into the blood. A rabid dog clearly does not look like that. Dogs generally do not live long with rabies. Therefore, it is an extremely rare infection, although very scary because it is fatal. If there is a rabid dog somewhere here, then a serious quarantine with the total extermination of all stray animals should be introduced. Do not worry so much.
Get a vaccine it’s better to be safe than sorry (18- i think it’s free)
Rabies is no joke, its pretty much a death sentence when you start to get the symptoms. It’s a horrible way to die.
Go straight to the hospital and get a series of rabies vaccines. The hospital will set you right up and it’s an easy process. Better not to risk it. Same thing happened to me in Tbilisi some years ago.
Dude go right now at the emergency and get a vaccine shot, follow doctor’s advice and get as many shots as they say in the next few days/weeks
If you’re not familiar with rabies, I’d suggest you read all about it so you know what you’d risk if you don’t follow protocol to the letter
Lmfaoooo. Well yeah
Just take the shots and take them now. If symptoms develop, it’s already too late
welcome to herpes gang 🙁
You can never be too paranoid about rabies.

Why the stray dog problem isn’t getting solved?
For the rabies virus to biologically infiltrate (and eventually infect then proliferate) the body, the wound has to be overtly penetrated to the extent where the virus can disperse in the bloodstream freely. From the picture provided in the post alone, mere scratches won’t do anything but cause itchiness/discomfort. In the (unlikely) scenario of the virus supposedly clinging onto the latter, it will disintegrate quickly since it’s incapable of reproducing without a host.
You should 100% get rabies shots it’s a virus with 100% fatality
Better be safe than sorry
I think it is unlikely to get rabies in your case. But also I think it is wrong to give advice from not specialist to somebody because I have no responsible for that. So keep it in mind and go to hear what doctor will say to you. Don’t follow the words random people in such questions.
That’s why I go around my home. With iron bat , I love dogs but , stray jokes are no joke
Did the dog have a foamy mouth? Or ALOT of drool?
