May 7, 2010, Newsletter Issue #193: Dog Bites

Tip of the Week

If 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.)
