Whether to use GS-441524 depends on symptoms and further coronavirus PCR and Rivalta tests; if no fever, big belly, or appetite loss, follow the vet's probiotics and lactoferrin and recheck in a week.

My Dog’s Corneal Ulcer Got Worse After Two Days of Eye Drops, with a Darker White Film. Why?

What Happens If I Don’t Get a Shot After Being Scratched by a Dog’s Nail?
A scratch from a dog's nail usually doesn't require a rabies shot; clean it with soap and water and disinfect with iodine to prevent infection or tetanus. Rabies spreads through saliva and only when the dog is symptomatic, so the risk is very low, but vaccinating the dog is still wise.
