Stray Dog bite
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.
