Abstract:
Animal bite is not uncommon in day to day life. Bite may occur by domestic animals like dog, cat and sometimes by wild animals like monkey, tiger, wolf, fox etc. Dog bite is the commonest animal bite that is always considered as dangerous as it can cause a fatal condition “RABIS”. Generally the wild animals attack the human beings with the aim to use it as food and hence the attack causes immediate death or death after some time. But a dog bite generally does not cause immediate death. It can lead to a serious condition “rabies” that can end with fatal outcome. A long term continuous search gifted the human society with “Anti Rabies Vaccine” which is easy to use and also effective. In ancient times also there was incidence of animal bite, specially dog bite stood as a matter of serious concern. Susruta, in Susruta Samhita, Kalpasthana, chapter 7 discussed about the characters of insane dog, signs and symptoms of insane dog bite and treatment of the condition in detail that can be considered as important even in this present century.
