Suggest Treatment For Dog Bite
I was just bit in the right calf by a dog. It broke the skin in a couple of areas, is bruising and the area has a burning pain sensation. I called the police and made a report; I also identified the two offending dogs. Their rabies vaccinations are not up to date. Would you suggest I go to the ED?

Hi,
You should go to ER and get examined.
As you are having skin breaching in multiple area with no proper information of vaccination of dogs, you require to go for,
1, tetanus toxoid shot,
2, ARV shots of five.
3, cleaning and dressing of the lesions.
Ok and take care.
