Types of Dog Bite Injuries

Dog bite victims are often children, postal mail carriers, delivery drivers, and invited guests to a home. Dog bites and animal attacks may cause serious injury, including:

  • Abrasions
  • Broken bones
  • Eye injuries
  • Facial disfigurement
  • Finger injuries
  • Hand injuries
  • Infections
  • Lacerations
  • Loss of vision
  • Neck injuries
  • Nose injuries
  • Puncture wounds
  • Rabies

In rare cases, dog attacks can kill a person. Between 10 and 20 people die each year in the United States, most of these children.  Death can also result from infection.

Animal Bite Injury Infections

Infection is a major concern in all animal bites. Pathogens including bacteria, viruses, spirochetes, and fungi can complicate any animal bite. Although dogs’ mouths are filled with bacteria, only a small percentage of dog bites become infected.  Cat bites are far more likely to become infected.  Bites on the hand have a higher risk of infection because of decreased blood supply. Bites caused by wild animals such as raccoons, bats, skunks and foxes also come with increased concern for rabies. If you have been bitten or attacked by any animal, it is imperative to seek medical care.
