Treatment for Dog Attacks
Victims of a dog attack may sustain injuries such as facial or bodily scarring, infections requiring antibiotics, broken bones, torn muscle tissue, or death. Treatments range from a few stitches or a bandage to cosmetic surgery and psychiatric therapy. Children who have been hurt by a dog are more likely than adults to suffer lacerations to the head or neck.
