I just got bitten by a random person's dog and went to the hospital with stitches. Any advice on healing it or getting better or things to look out for?
it never gets better. do you remember how frodo tells Sam about what the morgul blade wound felt like decades later? dog spit had something that does that. it never gets back up to 100%
Rabies
>>34566950Nigger you were just at the hospital where doctors, PAs, and NPs are. Why didn't you ask them and why are you asking complete strangers on 4chan? Fucking retard.
What do you mean? It's just like any other deep cut, follow the doctor's instructions, let it heal and stop asking stupid questions my friend
>>34566995I'm asking for experiences I already got the normal advice retard
>>34567017Firstly that's not what you asked. Secondly who gives a fuck about experiences. You can ask a dude with years of experience and a license on the line or some random anonymous faggot. Why pick the former? This is one of the dumbest threads on this board currently so congrats
>>34566967They said it was superficial but i can still close my fist so I'm expecting stiffness it sucks cause I need to work and idk if I'll be able to work tomorrow
>>34566970That's something I didn't think of. By law they'll be fined and I don't want to cause them to be fined, and im supposed to report this dog bite in case of rabies, and I think they'll have a legal case. Idk what to do with it since I'm not really the legal kind of person
>>34566950High MGO Manūka honey
>>34566950>>34567030It should still hurt for a few days depending on how you move your hands, but it should heal relatively quickly, sicne it wasn't that big of a wound and it seems to be mostly superficial. Also, since it was an owned dog, there's little risk of rabies and such, but I suppose they already told you all of that at the hospital/clinic.Keep it clean, avoid moving the hand around too much, take some painkillers to help reduce the pain if you need, but other than that, you'll be fine.
>>34567098Don’t mention rabies to the authorities. Nobody is going to enjoy dealing with that. The possibility of that being an issue is next to nothing.
I got bit in the face when I was about 3. Had stitches in my fucking face screaming my head off. I still recall 2 traumatic images in my mind of being bit and getting stitches. If there's trauma, that gets stored in you, but memories often get repressed.
You are going to die
>>34566970No point looking out for that, if he experience Rabies symptoms, he's dead. He should get jabs at the hospital for all the usual suspectsIt's not likely to be rabies but it's not a good way to die.
please be careful when it's a full moon OP
>>34566950Take the shot.>>34567741>Don’t mention rabies to the authoritiesShut the fuck up you piece of crap.
>>34566950Rabies shot?
If the dog has had its rabies vaccinations you don't need rabies shots. If they hadn't then you should get rabies shots out of precaution. Back in the old days they couldn't test animals without killing them and examining their brain matter. Not sure about today.
