Normally a stray or unknown dog has bitten or scratched the person. Germs from the dog’s mouth and the skin may get into the wound, and saliva can carry rabies.
Symptoms of Dog Bite
- Fever or swollen glands if infected
- Redness, warmth or pus a day or two later
- Bleeding
- Pain, swelling and bruising
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.

The physician can guide you through first aid, judge how urgent it is and say whether you need rabies vaccine, tetanus protection or antibiotics, which have to be given in person at a hospital or clinic. Typical choices are antibiotics where the wound is at risk of infection, tetanus protection and, when advised, rabies vaccine and immune globulin given in person.
