When being bitten by a dog at home and bleeding, and the skin tissue is damaged, corresponding measures should be taken according to the specific situation. If it is determined that the dog does not carry the virus, it only needs to be disinfected. If you are not sure, it is best to go to the hospital for rabies vaccination.

1. Be able to confirm that the dog does not carry rabies virus: If your dog has never suffered from rabies, and has regular health checkups, and is vaccinated on time; the dog has recently been emotionally stable and has no tendency to rabies. Then after being bitten by a dog, you only need to do a good job of disinfection to avoid wound inflammation. Forcefully squeeze out the blood from the injured part, then wash the wound repeatedly with soap, and then apply appropriate amount of povidone iodine for disinfection.

2. It is impossible to determine whether the dog has rabies: being bitten by a dog is a slight exposure. When there is a risk of rabies, for our health, we should go to the hospital for rabies vaccination after disinfection. For example: the dog has had rabies before, has not had a health check recently, cannot determine the dog's physical health or has a sudden change in temperament, actively attacks and bites us, etc.
