Please help!!!
My son is 18 months old and he got bit by a dog (friends moms dog) a little over an hour ago. (best picture I could get) the two dots are little holes and hes been trying to go to bed but it hurts to lay on that side. I have cleaned it extremely well and tried putting a bandages on but it hurts him. Its kinda starting to smell bad I'm not really sure what to do. Any advice?
Like everyone else said, if it breaks the skin it needs to be treated by dr due to infection risk. Poor thing, I hope he's ok!
@bubbas157, my son got bit as well.
Took him to the doctor, they cleaned it, had to close one of the wounds, and put him on antibiotics. I would take him in for sure! Let me know if you have any questions as we went through this not to long ago.
You have to take him to pediatric urgent care or ER. He will need antibiotics because of the bacteria in dog's mouths. He can get very very sick if not treated.
@bubbas157, hope everything comes out good and that your baby's able to sleep.
I will! I wanted to make sure before I take him because I didn't want it to be nothing and just me over reacting. He does have all of his shots but they haven't had him long hes technically a foster
Take him to the hospital he may get an infection and does that dog have all its shots?
Jk here but kill that mutt....idk it's a thing in my family and how I was raised if a dog bites a child it gets put down
