Dog bite : Call your local health department about this for further recommendations but I would also recommend your dependent get examination today

Depends : Is the dog somebody’s pet or a wild animal? What is the incidence of rabies in dogs where you live? How injured is the person who was bit?? if it’s a deep wound that may require cleaning or repair, go to the hospital now. I also suggest you go to your doctor or hospital if “the dependent” is not up-to-date on their tetanus booster

I think I may've punctured my ear drum on Saturday morning. I had blood thru the day on Saturday, but has stopped now. I had a RN friend of mine look at it Sunday morning and everything we could find on line is that it should heal itself, and to not let water get in it.She asked some of the people at the hospital that she works with and they said the same thing. I don't want to go to doctor because of the Covid stuff nowadays, so was hoping you could help. punctured ear drum?
