What Causes Dizziness And Excessive Bleeding After A Dog Bite?

My dog got startled or scared I m not sure as we were both asleep and I were t aware he was in my bed. But as Ive turned o wrong I think he panic cause I felt a jolt and then he bit my nose. The bit isn t deep and looks more like how a nip looks but cause it s the nose looks worse than it is. This is abnormal behaviour for him and he feels bad now. My nose has gone numbish and feels almost as if i have water in my nose. The what can be more described as a cut is on the left side of my nose on the outside side , bottom of my nostril on the right side and on the inside on the right nostril on the middle part(seems the most damage due to that being a thin part of the nose) I do think I went into shock. There was also a lot of blood which didn t stop for almost an hour and still I tiny bit now. Do feel bit lightheaded but I think that s the shock

Hi,

It will be just like other wound. Apply antiseptic lotion for dressing. Take injection tt and if the dog has been immunized then it will protect the dog from rabies and you will be safe. Otherwise also observe the dog for 10 days and if it remain healthy then there is nothing to worry.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
