About Dog Bite
A dog bite is a wound made by a dog’s teeth. Even a small one can carry bacteria, and since rabies exists in Turkey every bite deserves prompt attention.
What Can Cause Dog Bite
A bite or scratch from a dog, frequently a stray or unfamiliar animal. Bacteria from the mouth and skin may enter the wound, and rabies can spread through saliva.
Prevention Tips
Do not feed, pet or approach stray dogs, never touch an unfamiliar animal, and teach children to stay away from strays.
Care and Treatment for Dog Bite
You will receive first-aid guidance and an urgency assessment, and the doctor will tell you whether rabies vaccine, tetanus cover or antibiotics are needed; these must be given face to face at a hospital or clinic. Options may include antibiotics where the wound is at risk of infection, tetanus protection and, when advised, rabies vaccine and immune globulin given in person.
