Dog Bite Explained
A dog bite is a wound caused by a dog’s teeth. Even a small bite can carry bacteria, and in Turkey there is also a risk of rabies, so every bite should be taken seriously and checked rapidly.
Causes and Risk Factors
A bite or scratch from a dog, frequently a stray or unfamiliar one. Bacteria from the mouth and skin may enter the wound, and rabies can spread through saliva.
Signs of Dog Bite to Look for
- Redness, warmth or pus a day or two later
- Fever or swollen glands if infected
- Puncture, tear or scratch in the skin
- Pain, swelling and bruising
- Bleeding

How Dog Bite Is Treated
You will receive first-aid guidance and an urgency assessment, and the physician will tell you whether rabies vaccine, tetanus cover or antibiotics are needed; these must be given face to face at a hospital or clinic. Typical choices are antibiotics where the wound is at risk of infection, tetanus protection and, when advised, rabies vaccine and immune globulin given in person.
