Does A Dog Bite With No Mark Or Injury Need Medical Attention?
4 hours before, a dog bitten me on my leg over my pant when I unknowingly kicked it(actually it was sleeping). I checked my leg. There was no bite mark or blood injury. I washed my leg with soap as a precautionary measure after 30 minutes of the incident. Do I need to consult a doctor?

HI
Thanks for posting your query .
If you are 100% sure that there was no blood or not even a scratch mark , then no need for any medical attention .
But if there is slightest doubt in you then better get consult from a doctor .
Also if possible observe that Dog for 10 days and in this period if the dog dies then definitely you need to see your doctor.
Hope this information is useful for you .
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
Regards.
