Treatment The goal of treatment is to promote healing, decrease the risk of infection, and prevent complications. If your dog bit you and it has had all its vaccinations, you may be able to treat a minor wound yourself. However, call your provider for medical advice. Receiving medical care within the first 24 hours decreases the chance of infection. Seek medical care in these situations: Bite from any wild animal (Bites from rabbits and rodents (squirrels, mice, rats) are quite unlikely to cause rabies.) Cat or human bites (These are particularly prone to developing rapid and serious infection.) Deep or large wound Infection Five or more years since your last tetanus shot Regardless of the severity of the bite, see a doctor if you have a chronic medical condition, such as: Diabetes Liver disease Heart or lung disease Arthritis or lupus Poor circulation Cancer Immune system deficiency Self-care Wash the wound with soap and water for at least five minutes
