Emergency room: Go to the hospital emergency room for evaluation and treatment. It's important to try to get information on the dog (and its rabies immunization status )that bit you and perhaps the local police, local dog officer, and public health department can help as well. Antibiotics are indicated and your status of tetanus protection will be checked.
