Suggest Treatment To Follow After Dog Bite
I have a wiemeraner and he is a big dog. We were playing catch/tug of war and I pulled his toy from his mouth and he snapped back for it and got me in the grion. I had jeans on but he got me good. I went into the bathroom and had a few blood spots around the tip of my penis but could find a cut. I thin just inside my ureathra I might have a small cut. I washed it real good, put some peroxide and then antibiotic ointment. Anything else I should do? Dog is up on all his shots.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may want to consider updating your tetanus immunization if you have not been recently vaccinated (within the past 5 to 10 yrs).
Tetanus is the other concern with dog bites.
If he is up to date with his rabies vaccine then this should be ok.
Continue to keep it clean and applying the ointment.
I hope this helps
