I was walking along the street when a neighbor's dog suddenly decided to charge me and take a nip at my leg. The owner got the dog under control (at which point the animal suddenly became quite well behaved), went over to check on me, and apologized profusely. I asked for proof of vaccinations and he showed me the dog's collar with the list of immunizations on it; he also gave me the name of their vet clinic.
It's a small flesh wound, not a puncture wound; didn't really bleed except under the skin. I washed it out with peroxide and alcohol, put Neosporin on it and band-aided it up.
What else should I do? Tetanus shot? My last one was 5 years ago....
