Dog BitesIf you are bitten by a stray dog (or the owner canīt be located), wash the wound with soap and water and see a doctor immediately. The wound itself (if shallow) can be treated as a simple cut. If it is deep, it may require stitching. You might also be due for a tetanus shot (every 10 years), but antirabies injections are rarely necessary. (To be safe, if the animal can be captured, have it impounded and observed for signs of rabies.) (This tip submitted by Lisa Pinter, Newsletter Guru)
