Surveillance: It is important to watch wound and look for signs of infection. If it gets hot, swollen, have pus or hurts even more, you should get attention by your doctor promptly. Ask to the dog owner if it is vaccinated against rabies, if not, you should ask to your doctor and local services for the best protocol that must be applied in your case.
