k\make sure, you wash the bite/all the little holes/ wash with peroxide,it wont burn.alcohol will burn.Did your dog have a rabies shot in the last year?if you notice , the next 12 hours, the bite area turns red and swollen, it means its already infected.This happened to me.I went to the ER, and i got antibiotics for the next 12 days.dog bites are not stitched up,just bandaged.Put some Polysporin onto the wounds.

yes definitely. check if your dog has got an anti-rabies injection or not!

if yes, then it won't harm you but if no, then its highly fatal for you.

whatever it is, a doctor's visit is urgent.

do not waste ur time and go ahead...

even if the dog has had its shots, you'll still need to go get a tetanus shot, so yes

Absolutely see a doctor soon. The bacteria contained in a dog's mouth can cause really serious infections. Make sure that you take a copy of your dog's vaccinations in with you - if he hasn't had his rabies shot, then there is a completely different treatment that they will have to give you.

Good luck!

you should;
if ur dog STILL haves all his/her shots you should still go just to make sure everything is all right

The 1st thing you should do is wash the bite wound with running water and soap then go to the nearest center or hospital and ask for a tetanus toxoid injection. after doing all this, the next thing you must do is observe the dog that bit you.

well go to your doctor or your school nurse or sump it may get infected and then AMPUTATION!!!!
