A member asked:
Was bit by my dog on the leg, it got blood, and i'm nervous.washed and applied neosporin. is it a stretch for me to worry about infection/amputation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minimal : If the bite is not deep and if your dog is healthy and up to date with its vaccinations then chances of complications is minimal.
