Go to a clinic or to your doctor. Whenever you receive a bite from any animal (small or large), you run the risk of infection. The sooner you go, the better. Good luck and happy new year!

You'll live, puppies do bite and if you run to the Dr for a injection every time you might as well camp outside the rooms. I do not think it is serious being bitten by a puppy, most dogs have been injected against Rabies etc, if it was a stray i would get a Tetinus shot otherwise, chillllll baby, chill:))

If you haven't had one in the last 5 or 10 yrs you could get one just to be safe. He's a puppy so he probably doesn't have rabies or anything, but you should always get a dogs history when it bites you. Rabies is 100% fatal if not treated, so you might want to get it checked and make sure the dog's had all his shot's, especially if you're a hypochondriac like me. Even though Bacitration and Band-aid is probably all you need. I'm just overly cautious, so take that into consideration when you read this.

Yeah, if it broke the skin, you'l need to go to the doctor. I don't know about a tetanus shot, but you will need something to make sure you don't have an infection or to get rid of any one that you may have picked up. You should go see a doc. Good luck and happy new year!

Was the puppy was playing rather then biting you? You only need a jab if you have not had one in the last 10 years. Depending on the puppy, but i doult very much if you need to have a jab

Everyone should keep their tetanus up to date; its a preventable disease. If its time to have one then just have one! They last for about 10 years now.
If you get bitten just wash with soap and water to clean the area. If you werre bitten a couple of days ago, if the area is red and hot then its infected. If not then its fine.

It depends on if it has been vaccinated or not. Ask the owner, and if it hasn't, you'll need to go to a doctor and they'll have to hold the puppy to watch out for rabies.

Puppy venom!!
You will survive, just watch for infection. I had a Mini Schnauzer mix that bit clear through my son's earlobe once, and he made me bleed most every time we played. Puppy teeth are extremely sharp!
