- Bleeding
- Redness, warmth or pus a day or two later
- Puncture, tear or scratch in the skin
About 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.
Tekirova: Local Notes for Dog Bite
Most guests in Tekirova are there for the sea, and the sun, the chlorine and the buffet queues cause most of the minor illnesses.
