Minor scratch by dog teeth

2018-09-02 16:57:11
Hi, I got a small scratch by a dog's teeth while playing with it yesterday. There was no blood, but there was a swelling for a night and a little bit of skin peeled off. Very minor pain. The dog was vaccinated. Do I still need to take any precautionary medicine/ injections?

no its fine you wont get rabies since the dog is vaccinated. buy wash the wound under running water and with soap or any disinfectant. keep it clean. apply betadine ointment. if not healing, consult a doctor and get yourself treated with antibiotics.
