Suggest Treatment For Dog Bite
My dog bit my thumb just a few minutes ago. Most of it is just a bruise but it scraped some skin off and it bled slightly. I washed it with anti bacterial soap, poured peroxide over if and then put betadine solution on it. My dog is up to date with vaccines and everything but should I worry about it?

Hello dear!
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns!
I would say you to calm down and not to be worried about it.
You have done a very good thing that you have washed it enough and disinfected with appropriate solution.
If your dog is vaccinated regularly you are protected from severe conditions like rabies.
I wish you a good health!
Take care!
