First Aid & Safety Tips : How to Treat a Dog Bite

[Cornflake48]

Okay I got bite by a pitbill yesterday. My right arm is swollen and red, does that mean it's infected. If so what can happen if the infection gets worse ?

[defendingdog]

It should not be monitored. It should be euthanized.

[phrankus2009]

Yeah ... Full Spectrum Antibiotics may be in order.

Go to your Minor Emergency Center ASAP ! It won't cost that much.

My dog looks like those attack dogs from CoD and he really is one. He bit my left hand middle finger and it has alot of ripped skin. I am so gonna give him a good beating tomorrow.

I was bit last week by a boxer dog I'm onto my 2nd lot of antibiotics and there is no sign of healing. All of my major joints, my shoulders and hips are hurting bad and I don't feel at all well. Hospital I think

my dad just got bit by a dog. i dont know what kind of dog it was but i do know it was a really deep puncture in the wrist and some bad gashes in the hand. He was lucky it missed the veins and arteries but i dont know about the nerves.

My girlfriend got bit by my friends dog. its REALLY BAD. The dog had all of its shots. but the problem is she refuses medical treatment. and its a large open gash. at least a centimeter wide and and inch long. she cleans it and puts ointment on it. but i am really scared.

[TheCondemnedProphet]

I hope she's alright. Its 3months since you wrote that, is she ok? Did it cause any damage? I hope she's alright... Is she? I got bit literaly 30mins ago, not 2 bad, but .5inches deep but it doesn't hurt.

[psycokid4ever88]

@TheCondemnedProphet

yeah actually which is good.

i was worried about her

but nothing left but a nasty scar, and the tissue is not soft its rock hard. but other then that shes ok

[TheCondemnedProphet]

Thank goodness. My dog bites alright, i just hope i don't get tetness of watever, but im a teen, i live for this stuff :P Next, im onto snake bites or jumping from a plane with a faulty parachute lol.

[WhiteOutify]

Mine was white yesterday, but over the night it has turned into a small scrape looking thing. Its on my thumb area, and all my muscles near my thumb are sore and hurt really bad. When he bit me, the area inside looked purple o.O

Do i need to worry? Or is this, the third day since the dog bite, normal to have it appear like a small scrape even though it was deep, and have he area around swelled and sore? Mind you this was like a semi-deep puncture wound.

Do Dogs show signs and symptoms of rabbies ?

[PsnIDShMuK]

dont worry if he has all his shots. yours is just infected. clean with alcohol and wash throughly daily
