๐ถ DR. CARE CDO | DOG BITE = RABIES RISK
โ ๏ธ Any dog bite can expose a person to rabies. Even a small bite or scratch may be dangerous if the animal is infected.
โ
Wash the wound immediately with soap and running water for 15 minutes.
โ
Apply antiseptic if available.
โ
Seek medical care as soon as possible for rabies vaccination and proper treatment.
โ
Do not wait for symptoms. Once rabies symptoms appear, the disease is almost always fatal.
Protect yourself and your family.
A dog bite should never be ignored.
