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.
Common Triggers
Usually a stray or unknown dog has bitten or scratched the person. Bacteria from the mouth and skin may enter the wound, and rabies can spread through saliva.
