Puppy Scratch

2021-11-24 20:02:55
Hi, I was playing with a 1 month old unvacinated puppy, he got tiny but sharp teeth. While playing I her teeth touched my finger, I think it scratched a little bit... I can feel very little sensation of scratching But no blood came out. Now m even unable to find the scratch mark as well... I washed my hand with soap immediately, and applied T-Bact ointment over there. It just crossed 24 hour. Should I be worried ? Somewhere I heard even a little scratch from animals can kill you...
