    Yes you should see a doctor as you might need a tetanus injection.

    If your dog has had all of its shots and they are up to date then you should be fine, just keep it clean and bandaged.

    unless your dog has rabees I believe no. But if it gets infected at all or seems not to heal than yes.

    If your dog has not had its shots you will see a doctor if you get Rabies
    I would get rid of that dog for Real
    Once a Biter always a Biter

    If you know the dog, I wouldn't worry at all. Just keep the site clean. Bad Dog!.......:)

    You should be fine as long as your dog does not have rabies but if a dog bites you and it breaks the skin the dog will be more likely to bite you again. So I would consider getting rid of the dog especially if you don't leave your house and the next time could be more than just a small wound...just keep it clean if you get a high fever or it starts pussing you would need to see a doctor or you could get a blood infection and die.
