* Rabies risk: Even if the puppy seems healthy, it could be carrying rabies. Rabies is a deadly virus that can be transmitted through saliva, and puppies are often not vaccinated.
* Infection: Any bite, even from a puppy, can become infected.
* Tetanus: If the puppy's teeth weren't clean, you could be at risk for tetanus.
Here's what you should do:
1. Clean the wound thoroughly: Wash it with soap and water for 5 minutes.
2. Go to the nearest emergency room or doctor: They can assess the wound, administer any necessary antibiotics, and give you a tetanus booster if needed.
3. Find out the puppy's vaccination history: If possible, contact the puppy's owner and find out if the puppy has received its rabies vaccination. This information will be important for your doctor.
