If you have been injured by a dog bite your first priority should be getting the medical attention you need. For mauling injuries call 911 immediately and follow the dispatcher's instructions until paramedics arrive. <br /><br />Even if an ambulance is not required call a doctor or visit an emergency clinic. If a facial injury is involved the decisions you make immediately after the animal mauling can make a huge difference later on. For example requesting a plastic surgeon to do careful stitches can minimize scarring.
