What are effects of getting a dog bite treated after a week?
Patient: hello doctor,                      last week a dog bite me in hand, that's my friend dog, but that time i dont injured that means there is no blood bleading in that area, and am washed my hand with sope, but am afried that incident so am take treatment after 8 days. if any problem affected for me Doctor: Hello dear user!Welcome and thank you for asking us on HCM!Is your friend's dog vaccinated?If yes it doesn't make any problem in general. Anyway the best thing that should be done in these cases is the vaccine against the rabies and tetanus. If you have cleaned your hand properly and the wound was't deep the risk is very very small. I wish you a good health!Best regards!DR ERIOL.
