A cut from my dogs nails.
Today, I got a slight cut from my dogs nail while playing with him, little blood was seen in the scratch as in the pic.
He gets proper vaccination of rabies every year,
I washed my hands well with soap & water & applied ointment too.
Do I need to worry & get a tetanus injection?
By the way, I did get a tetanus shot 5 months back.
