    How bad did you get bit? I was bitten by a customer's boxer and had to go to the emergency room for stitches in my face. He also punctured my wrist and was put on heavy duty antibiotics. I was on two, and when my hand swelled bad, they put me on a shot and also another pill. His mouth must have had alot of germs in it.

    The one thing if I I just have a puncture is soak it 3 times a day in Epson Salts to draw out all of the nasty stuff. The more it bleeds the better. I keep it clean. If I am going to be around other dogs, I will put neosporin on it and cover it with gauze and wrap it. I let it air dry too.

    Get to the doctor. If you haven't had a tetnaus shot within last 5 years you'll probably need to get one.

    Go to your emergency clinic. You need it looked at, cleaned and you need a tetnus shot if you haven't had one recently.
