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.
Causes and Risk Factors
A bite or scratch from a dog, often a stray or unfamiliar animal. Germs from the dog’s mouth and the skin may get into the wound, and saliva can carry rabies.
Typical Symptoms
- Redness, warmth or pus a day or two later
- Puncture, tear or scratch in the skin
- Fever or swollen glands if infected
- Pain, swelling and bruising
- Bleeding

Close by are Siteler, Orhaniye, Selimiye, which share the same medical services. Stray dogs wander beaches and hotel grounds. Do not feed or pet them, and wash any bite for 15 minutes before getting help.
