might be good to see a doctor or call whatever phone healthcare service you have in your country, here in Canada we have a number we can call and immediately talk to a health care specialist or walk to a clinic and get it checked. dog bites can be very dangerous because they can cause infection deep in the tissue and that can actually be life threatening, was it really well, disinfect it and keep a close watch on it or any signs of fever.
