[|Human|] I was bit by a dog on my R thigh; it immediately bruised, and swelled; there was a very slight abrasion and minimal puncture; but it is warm, slightly red. I came home and washed it immediately. The owner of the dog says all shots are current; and my tetanus is current. Do I need to see a MD?
