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 quickly.
What Can Cause Dog Bite
A bite or scratch from a dog, often 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 Uchisar
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.
