Wild Hare
I got bit today at work. A small bite, but very painful place right next to my fingernail. The dog is current on vaccines.
I flushed it with water for a min. or 2. Then used chlorohexine wash - the same for prepping skin for surgery. Then wrapped in gauze and bandaged tight - the pressure relieved some of the pain so I could finish working.
After work, I opened it up. The cut was at an angle to the edge of my nail so there was a little wedge of skin. I cut it out. Flushed the whole thing with an antiseptic. Let air out and then put liquid skin on top.
OK -- so that's what I did. What would you do?
