The good thing though is that, two weeks ago, our pet dog received her anti rabies shot. So, we are relieved of the fear it could bring forth to our family. The only concern we have now is the wound itself. After washing the deep wound with antibacterial soap and running water for several minutes, she immediately applied garlic into the said wound. Garlic has antibiotic and antibacterial properties which help in the prevention of infection. This can be done especially if you do not have an antibacterial ointment available at home. It could sting you for a bit, although tolerable, just like when you put alcohol on a wound. But it is very effective. A family member was recently bitten by our pet dog.

We must always make sure that our dogs are not aggresive as agressive dogs are frowned upon and can be threat to others. We also must have our dogs on a leash and we must not allow them to stray. In case our dogs accidentally bit someone, we must be willing to help and shoulder all expenses that must be paid and make sure that the person that was bitten will be ok and then be more careful in the future to avoid such accidents.

Unless it comes from a dog that is not vaccinated for anti-rabies. Dog bites can lead to bleeding,swelling, infection and even rabies.

If there is bleeding apply pressure to the area above the bite. Wash the wound using warm water and soap. Cover the wound with a clean dry dressing and bandage. If swelling is present apply ice to reduce it. Dog bites should be reported to proper authorities. Dog bite injury is usually not fatal.
