    After being bitten by a dog, if there is bleeding from the wound, a tetanus injection is required to prevent tetanus bacilli from multiplying in the wound, leading to the absorption of toxins and the occurrence of tetanus disease. There is no drug for rabies**, but rabies can be prevented by vaccination, so rabies vaccination should be given as soon as possible.

    If the wound is deep, such as deep into the fat layer, etc., after the occurrence of this wound, Clostridium tetani may multiply in the wound and there is a risk of tetanus infection, so it is necessary to inject tetanus injections, in addition to rabies vaccine and rabies immune globulin.

    After being bitten by a dog, a tetanus shot is usually required.

    Tetanus is a serious illness caused by a bacterial infection that is found in soil, dust, and animal saliva. Dog bites can cause bacteria to enter the body, especially if the wound is deep and dirty, and it is more likely to cause infection. Therefore, tetanus shots can be effective in preventing the occurrence of tetanus.

    However, if the bite wound is shallow, clean, and the individual has completed the normal administration of the tetanus vaccine, then another tetanus shot may not be needed in general. However, if the wound is deep or dirty, or if the individual has an incomplete vaccination history or has not been vaccinated against tetanus, it is advisable to consult a doctor and follow the doctor's recommendations for tetanus vaccine.

    Even if the wound is shallow or the individual has a history of tetanus vaccination, it should not be taken lightly. Clean the wound in time, observe the infection of the wound, and seek medical attention immediately if the wound is red, swollen, pus-draining and other symptoms.

    In addition to this, if the bitten dog is at risk of rabies, a rabies vaccine is also required. Therefore, in the case of dog bites, it is best to consult a doctor in time to determine whether a tetanus shot is needed, as well as other necessary measures.

    After a pet dog is bitten by a domestic dog, it needs to be vaccinated against rabies. The probability of rabies infection in a domestic dog is low, but it is important to consider whether it has a history of wandering, or whether it has been bitten by other stray dogs or other domestic dogs. Since there is no guarantee that there is no rabies virus, it is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant treatment in time.
