About Dog Bite
A dog bite is a wound made by a dog’s teeth. Even a small one can carry bacteria, and because rabies exists in Turkey every bite deserves prompt attention.
Typical Symptoms

- Pain, swelling and bruising
- Fever or swollen glands if infected
- Bleeding
Preventing Dog Bite
Do not feed, pet or approach stray dogs, never touch an unfamiliar animal, and teach children to stay away from strays.
How Dog Bite Is Treated
The doctor can talk you through first aid, judge how urgent it is and tell you whether you need a rabies vaccine, tetanus protection or antibiotics, which must be given in person 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.
- Wash the wound with soap and running water for at least 15 minutes
- Cover it with a clean dressing
- Note where the bite happened and what the dog looked like
