A dog bite is a wound made by a dog’s teeth. Even a small one can carry bacteria, and because rabies exists in Turkey every bite deserves prompt attention.
What can cause dog bite
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.
Signs of dog bite to look for
- Fever or swollen glands if infected
- Puncture, tear or scratch in the skin
- Redness, warmth or pus a day or two later
