Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My dog bit me(not hard) and it left a little bump where he bit me at. It s starting to look like a bruise but it s a bump. I am thinking that it is a popped blood vessel but I don t know. What is it and should I be concerned? Also my dog is not aggressive and has all of his vaccines.
Thanks for your queries at HCM! I advise that you must wash your wound with soap water thoroughly. Consider tetanus and rabies prophylaxis(Rabipur) from a local physician. You must start prophylactic antibiotics as there is a bruise and chances of getting infected. Watch the behavior of dog for 10 days. Take care!
