]]> 81826 2 0 Step Put on gloves If you have disposable gloves available, put them on.

]]> 81827 3 0 Step Check for bleeding Check for bleeding. If the victim is bleeding profusely, treat the bleeding and skip cleaning the wound. If the bleeding is not profuse, then proceed to the next step, which is washing the wound.

]]> 81828 4 0 Step Wash the wound Wash the wound with soap and a steady, high-pressure stream of water for about one minute.

]]> 81829 5 0 Tip It’s the pressure of the water stream, not the duration of washing or the amount of soap, that’s most important in cleaning the wound.

]]> 81830 6 0 Step Place dressing against bite Place a sterile dressing, such as a gauze pad, against the bite and apply direct pressure until the bleeding stops.

]]> 81831 7 0 Step Add layers If blood soaks through the first layer, do not remove it. Instead, add another layer on top of it.

]]> 81832 8 0 Step Secure dressing with tape Secure the dressing with adhesive tape.

]]> 81833 9 0 Step Raise wound above head Raise the wound above the head to slow the bleeding.

]]> 81834 10 0 Step Report the bite Call the authorities to report the bite. If the animal was a stranger, they’ll need to investigate to make sure the animal is not rabid, and will advise you as to whether you need shots.

]]> 81835 11 0 Step Seek medical attention Seek immediate medical attention if the bite begins to induce more pain, or if the victim has developed a fever, swollen glands, or red streaks spreading from the wound toward the heart.

]]> 81836 12 0 Fact Contrary to popular belief, a dog’s mouth is not cleaner than a human’s.
