An animal bite needs a proper check.
Fast Track can assess selected animal bites. The clinician considers the animal, wound location, depth, contamination, bleeding and relevant immunisation history before advising the next step.
What assessment may cover
Some bites need hospital, specialist or public health follow-up. The right pathway depends on the individual assessment.
Choose a care topic
Open the closest topic for more detail. A clinician still decides whether the clinic is suitable.
