Hi..i am 26 and i stay as a pg. I was playing with my owner s dog, a 10 year old labrador n got a few scratches on my right leg. The scratches did not bleed. I have washed it with antiseptic lotion n applied a cream.The scratches are not burning badly and are not red. Do i need to take any other steps or see a doc?
You are concerned that dog scratches may need additional treatment other than cleaning the wounds. You could also use over the counter topical antibiotics like Newsprint to reduce infection. If the wounds become red, swollen or develop purulent discharge then I suggest should seek attention from a doctor for oral antibiotics. I hope this answers your question. If you have any further questions please contact us again.
