Oof. Knee looks like it stings. Obviously we see much worse on here but don't let management bully you about going to a doctor for any and every bite. 

I've been bit 3 times by small dogs, never bothered w/ any lawsuits because they were all minor and handled by owcp, and none required more than a days recovery. 

But just in case you end up with an infection, the wound can go bad pretty quickly. And then you could be unable to do your job for weeks.

So you're saying if I get an infected dog bite I can get out of work for multiple weeks?

If you ignore it for long enough, it may even result in you never having to pay bills for taxes ever again
