About 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.
Why Dog Bite Happens
A bite or scratch from a dog, frequently 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.
Preventing Dog Bite
Do not feed, pet or approach stray dogs, never touch an unfamiliar animal, and teach children to stay away from strays.
Care and Treatment for Dog Bite
The physician 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. 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.
- Press on it with a clean cloth if it is bleeding
