Devastating Effects of Dog Bite Injuries

A canine attack injury is more than a physically painful event. It often leaves a victim with psychological trauma (often resulting in lingering post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD), scars, and disfigurement.

A dog bite injury requires prompt, attentive medical treatment, including:

Treatment of the wound to stop bleeding, prevent infection and promote healing
Evaluation by plastic surgeons as needed, to determine whether and when plastic surgery may be necessary
Possible skin grafts or other reparative surgical treatments

Psychological trauma may leave a person fearful and jittery. This may be especially true for children who experienced terror at the time of an attack by a dog.

Scarring and disfigurement are very common outcomes of dog bites. The impact will vary according to where the bite occurred on the body. A disfigured face leaves many a dog bite victim feeling awkward and inhibited in social settings. Many experts report that children and young women experience the greatest losses triggered by disfigurement.

What to Do After a Dog Bite Incident

If you have been the victim of a dog bite:

Seek immediate medical attention
Report the incident to the local animal control authority
Report the incident to the local police department
