Dog Bite Prevention
As a plastic surgeon, dog bites can be one some of the most challenging reconstructive procedures I face. On average there are over 334,000 people who go to the emergency room each year in the United States for dog bite treatment. Most victims are children with the face or neck being injured a majority of the time.
People usually believe that rabies is still the reason children die after dog bites, but there have only been 22 cases in the U.S. from 1990 to 1996. The dog bite itself is really the problem. The bites can range from merely a scratch to severe injuries, requiring multiple operations and leaving a child permanently disfigured. There are approximately 20 children who die each year from dog attacks. It is important to recognize that 58% of all dog bites occur at home and many are thought to be preventable.
Here are some guidelines for dog bite prevention:
1) Never leave an infant or young child alone with any dog.
2) Teach children not to approach unfamiliar or stray dogs.
3) Never disturb a dog while its eating, sleeping, or tied up.
4) When attempting to pet a dog, ask the owner for permission first, then approach the dog slowly with your hand out and the palm facing downwards. Make no sudden movements and allow the dog to check you out first.
5) If a dog does attack, it is best to stay still or play dead to minimize further biting.
6) Seek medical treatment for all animal bites.
