 Animal Bites - What You Need To Know:

Animal bites are more than just surface wounds: they can lead to serious infections, especially if the animal is unvaccinated or unknown. One of the most concerning risks is rabies, a deadly virus that affects the nervous system. Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear.

 When to Seek Medical Attention:

  • Bite or scratch from a stray or wild animal
  • Animal acting strangely or aggressively
  • Deep wound, bleeding, or puncture
  • No prior rabies vaccination

 What to Do Immediately After a Bite:

  • Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water
  • Apply antiseptic
  • Cover the wound with a clean dressing
  • Seek medical care as soon as possible

 Why Rabies Vaccination Is Critical:

The rabies virus has no cure once symptoms appear. However, the virus is 100% preventable with timely vaccination. The rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) includes a series of rabies shots that must begin as soon as possible after the bite.
