You got beaten by a dog and the first thing is for you to open a thread on nairaland asking for help?
You are a brainless bufoon ... And you deserve what you got!
Please wait a few more days, you will get more helpful replies ... Dont do anything, just sit by your computer and drink a glass of cold pepsi
Oponu!

If you were bitten by stray dogs that roam the street, INSIST you get a rabies vaccine. even if the dogs have owners, still go for the injection. You know most Nigerians don't take their dog's welfare seriously.

Make sure you take your pills especially the anti-biotics (frankly, I don't see the necessity for the other two). Try and find a good clinic where you can get the vaccine asap. Rabies is one infection you don't want to toy with, once the virus gets into your CNS, you're as good as gone (not your portion).

Hey, you guyz forgot tetanus toxoid, in fact, that should've been the first thing the doc should've given, after a thorough debridement....

Rabis vaccine is also important.....

In addition to others suggestion...

Did you provoke the dogs before they attacked you?

The dogs need to be captured, quarantined and monitored for 10days.

He said it was only a small cut, can the tetanus bact get into surface wounds like that?

tetanus is a spore forming anaerobic organism, its spores can live for years, even decades.... There is a high risk if the cut, scratch or bite was deep.....

So i believe a TT shot wont do any harm.... Will it

The baacteria can't thrive and multiply under aerobic conditions (such as scratches and surface wounds likeop). Won't harm to get a tetanus toxoid tho.

remember, all the bacterium needs is to get to a wound, deep or scratch, and travel through the peripheral nerves through regional axonal flow, releasing its toxin and causing spasms........

Remember also, that those stray dogs walk on all sorts of surfaces, including $h!t......
Re: Help!! Just Got Bitten By A Dog by dominique(f): 4:26pm On Mar 25, 2013
But the bacteria can't survive on a wound exposed to air can it? Don't remember reading anywhere where it states that the bacteria survives in teeth or silivary glands of dogs too.
Re: Help!! Just Got Bitten By A Dog by Lagusta(m): 7:03pm On Mar 25, 2013
They form spores, thats what makes them survive in air....

And i thought the OP said he wasnt sure whether it was a bite or a scratch from its claws, and those dirty claws have dug in to all sorts of filthy stuff..... Tetanus things meehnnn
