What Is Dog Bite?
Dog teeth can leave wounds that carry bacteria, and in Turkey there is also a rabies risk, so no bite should be dismissed.
Typical Symptoms
- Bleeding
- Pain, swelling and bruising
- Redness, warmth or pus a day or two later
- Puncture, tear or scratch in the skin
- Fever or swollen glands if infected
Why Dog Bite Happens
A bite or scratch from a dog, frequently a stray or unfamiliar animal. Germs from the dog’s mouth and the skin may get into the wound, and saliva can carry rabies.
Getting Dog Bite Treated in Turgutreis
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. Treatment can involve antibiotics where the wound is at risk of infection, tetanus protection and, when advised, rabies vaccine and immune globulin given in person.
- Press on it with a clean cloth if it is bleeding
- Wash the wound with soap and running water for at least 15 minutes
- Cover it with a clean dressing
