Got bitten by a puppy
Got bitten by a puppy on my hand I was playing with on march 24, the puppy is probably less than 12 months old. although it bled a little, the wound is too small for the naked eye actually so I ignore it. but now april 28 I saw the redness around it and I'm worried about rabbies infection. my friend confirmed that his puppy is still alive though. Actually the bite is near a vein, i don,t know if hit the vein or what but it is now reddish and when I pushed my fingers on it there was a hint of pain
