Our dog bit my son, almost 2 years of age on the ear. not very deep, looks like a small cut. do we need to take him for an injection?

Clean the wound: I would recommend seeing a physician who can clean the wound and evaluate further management. The area should be washed with antibacterial soap and a topical antibiotic cream applied until seen. Please take the vaccination records for your child to the visit for review. Any details regarding the dog should be provided at that time.
