What can cause dog bite
A bite or scratch from a dog, frequently a stray or unfamiliar animal. Bacteria from the mouth and skin may enter the wound, and rabies can spread through saliva.
Understanding dog bite
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.
Typical symptoms
- Pain, swelling and bruising
- Bleeding
- Redness, warmth or pus a day or two later
- Puncture, tear or scratch in the skin
- Fever or swollen glands if infected
Care and treatment for dog bite
The doctor can talk you through first aid, judge how urgent it is and tell you whether you need a rabies vaccine, tetanus protection or antibiotics, which must be given in person 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
- Note where the bite happened and what the dog looked like
- Wash the wound with soap and running water for at least 15 minutes
