Wash well & see Dr.: After an animal bite, the area should be washed well to get the animal germs out. If there is a laceration or a puncture wound, prescription antibiotics may be needed, as well as a tetanus booster. If bitten or injured by a raccoon, skunk, fox, coyote, bat, or any salivating/drooling strangely acting animal, rabies is a possibility (one should see a doctor within a day or so).
