How to be bitten by pet dog

After being bitten by a pet dog, the wound should be treated seriously. First of all, the dirty blood should be squeezed out. Don't let the blood exist in the wound, otherwise it is easy to cause infection. If the wound is small, you can first wash the wound with soapy water, then rinse it with clean water, and finally apply some iodine.

If the wound is relatively large or difficult to handle, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment. Pay attention not to suture the wound.

If the time of being bitten is less than 10 days, regular rabies vaccination should be carried out. If the bitten part is the head, face, neck or the part bitten by rabies, rabies vaccination should be actively carried out even after a long time, and anti rabies immune serum or immunoglobulin should be injected at the same time. The dose of rabies vaccine for children is the same as that for adults.

matters needing attention

Don't be careless after being bitten by a pet dog. It is necessary to inject rabies vaccine for human use in time. It should be noted that healthy cats and dogs may also carry rabies vaccine. Therefore, it is better for pet owners to take their pets to get rabies vaccine regularly for themselves.
