Pet's info: Dog | Shiba Inu | Female | spayed | 25 lbs
My dog just scratched me (we were playing) and the scratch was just red and swollen and went away in 5 minutes. Should I be worried about it?

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Please contact a human health care provider if you have concerns over an injury to yourself. Be sure to follow basic hygiene when handling your dog. Wash hands with soap and water after playing with Miku.
