Now this is what should be done to an already existing dog bite wound:
Use clean white gauze to place a bandage over the location. Which should be changed on a daily basis. As a precaution to avoid infection, put an antibiotic ointment on the location before placing the gauze on. The area should be looked over at least once a day to check for signs of an infection.
The signs for infection include:
* Redness in the location
* Swelling of the wound
* Heat, is the area hot to touch.
* Pus: Does the wound look white, yellow or green? Or has oozing in this color?
