Stray Dog bite

2022-01-04 07:33:18
Hi, good day, I was feeding a stray and it accidentally held one of my finger. It was not too hard. I did not get injured, infact not even a scratch. I do not have any existing injuries on the finger he bit. I just wanted to find out if I will have to get any injections or if it is ok. I also made sure that I washed the finger with clean water and soap and also disinfected it with Dettol solution. Kindly let me know how I have to proceed.

If there is no wound or no bleeding then no need to worry. Avoid contact with stray and unvaccinated dogs
