If you got bit by your neighbor's dog, I would recommend going to your doctor to have the wound evaluated. They are the only ones that can tell you if you need antibiotics. I would make sure your dog is on a leash at all times so you can help your dog avoid this type of situation. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
