Dog bites require prompt medical attention due to the high risk of infection from the numerous bacteria in canine mouths, potential for structural damage to tissues, and rabies risk assessment needs. Mexico has a higher incidence of rabies than the US, making professional evaluation particularly important. Treatment begins with thorough wound cleaning and irrigation to remove bacteria and saliva, followed by careful examination for damage to underlying structures like tendons, nerves, or blood vessels. Wounds are typically left open if more than 6-8 hours old or at high infection risk, while fresh, clean bites may be sutured. Antibiotics are commonly prescribed as bite wound infection rates range from 15-20%, with Pasteurella, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and anaerobic bacteria being common culprits. Rabies risk assessment includes evaluating the vaccination status and behavior of the dog, with post-exposure prophylaxis (rabies immune globulin and vaccine series) recommended when the animal cannot be observed or when bites occur in high-risk areas. Tetanus boosters are also provided if needed. Proper documentation of the bite treatment can be important for travel insurance claims.
