Pet dog bite
My friend's pet dog bit me. The skin was punctured minorly, A small scratch like wound. Pic attached.
The dog is fully vaccinated.
Apart from a major fear the bite caused, I don't feel any different.
I have washed the would with water and soap multiple times.
Do I need to take injection?
