If you have not previously been vaccinated or if your existing vaccination out of date, then you should make sure you should see a Doctor and receive a TT within 24 hrs of the dog bite incident. This ensures that symptoms of tetanus will not have a chance to develop.
Dog bite could lead to local wound infection, tetanus or rabies that could come from either the saliva of the bites, skin flora of victim.
Health Tips
Watch for signs of infection, including redness, swelling, increase pain and fever.

Hi
When you vaccinated your pet dog?
It is just 3 months old so ask your vet for his immunization status .
You need to take TT inj. Immediately after dog bite on the same day.
As your dog is small
You may need to take rabies vaccine.
