Hi, I recently(about three days ago I believe) bitten by a neighbors dog on my left calf, near my ankle. It was a small dog, had all it s shots, but I m a bit concerned. I feel no pain or really, anything, slightly around or the actual bite site. The bite it self is not severe, however there are slight puncture/gash, that have a sort of black, soft scab like over them. It s not hot or warmer, but it did sort of get a small like pocket that oozed a bit when I went to clean my bite. It was blood colored more or less(maybe push, not sure it s some what dark). My question is, should I seek medical help? I m rather poor as well, and normally I can t/won t go to hospital/doctor unless it s severe enough for them to have to treat it, however, since this the first time I ve been bitten by a dog and I m worried. I m also not diabetic, if that helps any.
Hellos the important point is that dog was vaccinated for rabies vaccine i.e. no any chance of any rabies. While on your calf muscle it has bitten, but this is not a cause of concern. Only get one tetanus shot, and that is all. Since only mild wound (bruise) is there, so take Tylenol 10 mg /kg body weight 2-3 times in a day, only for 2 days. Local antiseptic Chat Doctor. In my opinion no need of any concern or consultation.
