What Is Dog Bite?
Dog teeth can leave wounds that carry bacteria, and in Turkey there is also a rabies risk, so no bite should be dismissed.
Common Triggers
A bite or scratch from a dog, often a stray or unfamiliar animal. Bacteria from the mouth and skin may enter the wound, and rabies can spread through saliva.
Signs of Dog Bite to Look for
- Fever or swollen glands if infected
- Bleeding
- Pain, swelling and bruising
- Redness, warmth or pus a day or two later
- Puncture, tear or scratch in the skin
