Pet Dog Bite Incident

2025-02-06 16:58:20
Dear Doctor I wanted to consult you regarding a minor dog bite incident involving my baby, who is 2 years old .  A friend’s dog bit him, but there was no. penetration or bleeding—only some bruising. The dog is fully vaccinated. Should I be concerned or take any specific precautions? I have attached a pic for your reference Looking forward to your advice. Best regards, Rebecca

Looking at the picture seems like a Cat-II wound. (It’s better to err on the safer side than to assume nothing has happened). Advise you to take your child and visit your local Pediatrician/ER physician for post exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
Next Steps
