Suggest Treatment To Be Taken After A Dog Bite
Hi doctors, I have a question. Yesterday my mom and our puppy (2months old) were playing then suddenly our puppy playfully bit my mom's hand. The teeth scratched her hand, the wound looks like a tiny dot but it also has a tiny blood. I am nervous because our puppy has not had any vaccination because it's still young. Is it dangerous? We quickly washed it and put a lot of alcohol.

Hello
As you stated that your dog was not vaccinated and , dog bitten your mother , so get in human diploid cell vaccine ( HDCV) or purified chick embryo vaccine 1.0 ml ( deltoid muscle )one each on days 0 , 3 7 and 14 .
Also cleanse the wound and also get in tetanus injection.
So consult a physician and take these injections.
Also get in vaccination for your dog.
