Dog

If you are scratched by a dog, the first thing you have to do is treat the wound. When treating a wound, pay attention to keeping the wound open. If there is blood flowing out, you can let it flow out for a while. You can also squeeze the area around the wound with your hands to help drain the blood, but never suck the wound with your mouth. Then clean the wound with clean water, preferably with soapy water and other alkaline cleaning agents. If the wound is not large, you can apply iodine and bandage it according to the actual situation. And if the wound is large, you need to do a good job of stopping the bleeding and go to the nearest hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

After the wound is well treated, you need to get vaccinations. Normally, being slightly scratched by a pet dog will not cause people to contract rabies, because pet dogs will receive vaccinations regularly, and dogs rarely have rabies virus on their paws, but just in case, You'd better go to the hospital to get the vaccine within 24 hours. If the scratch is severe, you must get vaccinations. After receiving the vaccine, do not eat spicy, cold and seafood foods, and do not drink alcohol, strong tea and coffee, otherwise the immune effect will be affected.
