How Can A Dog Scratch Be Treated?

Hi, I got a very little scratch from my 1.5 months old labrador puppy s nail on my arm today while I was Playing with him, the scratch is too small that I am not able to see where is it now, still, I want to be sure that should I do something about it or not. I got tetanus injection in October 2016.

Hi,

You can do disinfection with Hydrogen Peroxide or Betadine. Put a sterile gauze over it.

You don't need to do Tetanus injection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
