What Is Dog Bite?
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.
How Dog Bite Feels
- Bleeding
- Fever or swollen glands if infected
- Redness, warmth or pus a day or two later
- Pain, swelling and bruising
- Puncture, tear or scratch in the skin
Why Dog Bite Happens
Usually a stray or unknown dog has bitten or scratched the person. Bacteria from the dog’s mouth and the skin can enter the wound, and rabies can be passed on through saliva.
Care and Treatment for Dog Bite
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. 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.
- Wash the wound with soap and running water for at least 15 minutes
- Press on it with a clean cloth if it is bleeding
- Cover it with a clean dressing
- Note where the bite happened and what the dog looked like
