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.
Common Triggers
A bite or scratch from a dog, often a stray or unfamiliar one. 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 guide you through first aid, judge how urgent it is and say whether you need rabies vaccine, tetanus protection or antibiotics, which have to 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
