Answer:

  • That break the skin can sometimes cause infection. Some bites need stitches while others heal on their own.

  • Rarely, bites from wild animals can lead to rabies, a life-threatening infection. Bats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes cause most rabies cases.

What to Do :

  • Wash the bite area with soap and water. If the bite is bleeding, put pressure on it using sterile gauze or a clean cloth.
  • If the bleeding has stopped, put antibiotic ointment on the area.
  • Cover the area with a bandage or sterile gauze.
  • If your child has pain, give acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

Get Medical Care If:

The bite was from:

  • a wild or stray animal
  • a pet that isn't up-to-date on rabies shots
  • an animal that is acting strangely
  • The bite has broken the skin.
  • The bite is on the face, head, neck, hand, foot, or near a joint.
  • A bite or scratch becomes red, hot, swollen, or more painful.
  • Your child is behind on shots or has not had a tetanus shot within 5 years.
  • If your child needs treatment, have the following information on hand:

  • The kind of animal that bit your child
  • The date of the animal's last rabies vaccination, if known  any recent unusual behavior by the animal
  • The animal's location, if known  , if the animal was a stray or wild, or was captured by a local animal control service
  • your child's immunization (shots) record
  • a list of any medicines your child is allergic to

Think Prevention!

Many animal bites can be prevented. Always keep a close eye on young kids around animals, even pets. Teach kids not to tease pets, to handle them gently, and to stay away from wild or stray animals.
