What is 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.
Symptoms of dog bite
- Bleeding
- Redness, warmth or pus a day or two later
- Fever or swollen glands if infected
- Puncture, tear or scratch in the skin
Common triggers
A bite or scratch from a dog, often a stray or unfamiliar animal. Bacteria from the dog’s mouth and the skin can enter the wound, and rabies can be passed on through saliva.
