Animal bites can lead to infections, especially if not treated promptly.
Bites from animals can transmit diseases like rabies, tetanus, or bacterial infections.
If the bite is severe or the animal's health is unknown, seek medical attention immediately.
Clean the wound with soap and water, apply antiseptic, and cover with a sterile bandage.
Get a tetanus shot or rabies vaccination if necessary, based on the animal's behavior.
