What should you do if your dog bites someone else?
If an animal attacks you, it is important to first make sure it isn't rabid. If this is impossible, you can call for help. You could be seriously hurt if you try to manage the situation yourself.
If the animal bites, but is not aggressive then you can take it to a vet clinic. Your vet will examine it, and then advise you if additional treatment is necessary.
Most cases will require rabies shots. However, you should never administer these yourself. Only a qualified person should do so.
