Understanding 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.
Why dog bite happens
A bite or scratch from a dog, frequently a stray or unfamiliar one. Bacteria from the mouth and skin may enter the wound, and rabies can spread through saliva.

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.
