Suggest Treatment For Dog Scratch On Wrist
I was playing with my dog this morning and she accidentally scratched my wrist several times and drew a small amount of blood. I cut her nails last night and believe some of the edges may have been sharp, that's why it broke the skin. My wrist is painful and the scratch areas are red and slightly swollen. Is there a point where I should see a doctor for this?

Good day and thanks for your question. Sorry about your wrist pain. You are wright, it could have been the sharp edges of the nail that broke your skin. You can use Ibuprofen tablets for the pain and swelling. Hope it helps. Thank you
