Understanding Dog Bite
A dog bite is a wound made by a dog’s teeth. Even a small one can carry bacteria, and since 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 animal. Bacteria from the dog’s mouth and the skin can enter the wound, and rabies can be passed on through saliva.
