Medical Treatment for Dog Bite Injuries
Dog bites can lead to severe injuries, including deep lacerations, infections, nerve damage, and even psychological trauma. Immediate medical attention is crucial to mitigate the risk of complications. Treatment often involves:
⦁ Wound Cleaning and Suturing: To prevent infection and promote healing, dog bite wounds need to be thoroughly cleaned and, in many cases, sutured.
⦁ Surgical Interventions: Severe bites may necessitate surgical procedures to repair damaged tissues, nerves, or tendons.
⦁ Psychological Counseling: The trauma from a dog attack can lead to anxiety, PTSD, and other psychological issues that require professional therapy.
