Dog bite, is it healing okay?
Hi everyone, I was bit by my dog 5 days ago. He was attacked by a family members dog and he needed to defend himself. I tried to break it up and he unintentionally bit me. He is up to date on all his vaccinations and has never bared his teeth before. I’ve debated going to a doctor because they’ll have to report it and my dog will need to quarantine for 10 days. I know he’s healthy and up to date on vaccines. He doesn’t need to quarantine.
Does this bite look like it is healing alright? It doesn’t hurt unless I press on it or accidentally bump into something. I’m having some minor skin irritation from bandaging because I have sensitive skin. I wash it a couple times a day, put Neosporin on it, and bandage with gauze and wrap.
It was bandage before the photo was taken, so it looks pruned.
Am I good to let it heal on its own?
Thanks for any help and advice!
