Hello,
Even if your puppy is fully vaccinated, **any dog bite that breaks the skin requires proper medical evaluation**. Here’s why:
Key Considerations:**
1. **Rabies Risk:**
- While vaccination reduces risk, **no vaccine is 100% guaranteed**.
- Rabies is fatal once symptoms appear—early prevention is crucial.
2. **Infection Risk:**
- Dog bites can introduce bacteria (e.g., *Pasteurella*, *Staphylococcus*) causing severe infections.
- Signs: Redness, swelling, pus, or fever.
3. **Tetanus Risk:**
- If your last tetanus shot was over **5–10 years ago**, a booster may be needed.
Immediate Steps:**
Wash the wound** thoroughly with soap and water for **15 minutes**.
Apply antiseptic** (betadine/antibiotic ointment).
Monitor for infection** (increasing pain, redness, or fever).
When to Seek Medical Help Immediately:**
- If the bite is **deep, bleeding excessively, or near a joint**.
- If the dog shows **abnormal behavior** (aggression, drooling, lethargy).
- If you’re **unsure about the dog’s vaccination history**.
For **personalized advice**, including whether you need **rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)** or antibiotics, please consult me via WhatsApp at **eight zero zero nine eight two one three three two**.
