Dog teeth touch skin
Actually today evening when I was playing with a street dog big puppy at that time his teeth touched my thumb skin and I felt a pain there but I saw no scratch no blood no tearing of skin but it was paining for sometime and still pain persists. Can it be possible that teeth would have touched inner skin ? As I can't see any sign there but just little pain . Should I take injections for d same ?
And before 8 years when dog bited I had took injections
What should I do ?
