Wait for the full moon
Laceration? You yanked your hand back when the puppy got a bit too nippy, didn't you?
Maybe OP meant the friend had the puppy for 2 weeks? I really doubt a 2 week old puppy could bite through someone's skin.
You should be ok. Don't get stitches... you want any bacteria in there to seep out. Keep it clean.
Was it this guy?
Yeah I can never tell, specially in offtopic.I can never tell if these threads are genuine "stuff gaffers say" threads , or just posters trying to make a thread that'll be talked about in the next "stupid stuff gaffers say" thread.
and now the wound is closed.
I would personally fight crime but feel free to turn into a villain.
Just think of a cool puppy related name
And enjoy your new puppy powers
Puppies shouldn't be away from their mothers until they're like 8 weeks. Why are you hangin' with 2 week old puppies.
Also, my dog used to bite me all the time when she was a pup. I'd scream out (like a dog) and squeeze the back of her neck (to simulate a bite back) and she stopped after a few days
DO NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH THE DOG. Tilt your head so the brim of your fedora hides your eye-line. Wipe the blood off on your trenchcoat.

Smallest dogs are always the meanest. I swear they got that built in napoleon syndrome.
Rabies always finds a way.Dude.
It's a two week old puppy that's grown up in a controlled environment
Think for five seconds, where and how would it even get rabies.
Think.
The wound is pretty small. Half the width of my finger. It is pretty deep though since it bled a lot.
I'm from SEA. I've asked around and it seems people here believe that rabies are stronger when the dogs are pretty young.
I didn't know this constituted as a joke thread but if it feels like it then just treat it as me being paranoid and also sleepy because it 4am.
I read that a puppy's teeth is actually sharper before 5 weeks and it falls off to make the permanent ones grow so yes it does have the ability to puncture.
The puppy was also vomitting something I cleaned it up and fed it some food which led to me being bitten probably because she was excited. Then I read the symptoms of rabies in dogs and saw vomitting so I was pretty paranoid and made the thread.
Puppies, always just waiting for you to slip up, then RIP, Kobayashi Maru.

A two week old puppy to take people's minds off this ridiculous thread.
I've learned in this topic that your dog biting you is a common thing. Never getting a dog.
Serious response as somebody who had a massive, irrational rabies phobia:
Odds are very, very low that you're infected with anything dangerous. Still, you should report all animal bites to your doctor. In the short term, the best thing you can do is wash and clean the wound thoroughly (as it sounds like you have) and cover it with a sterile bandage + antibacterial cream like Neosporin.
Next steps are to talk to your general practitioner about the bite; they will make the determination of whether or not you need a prophylactic rabies vaccine. This is urgent but not an emergency - you should aim to see them within a few days. They'll probably recommend that the puppy be put under quarantine / observation for several days (longer if it is unvaccinated). If the dog continues to show no signs of infection, you are in the clear. Otherwise, you will need to get the vaccine, which (thankfully) is not as big a deal as it used to be.
The worst thing you can do is sit there worrying that you are infected with something. Talk to your doctor, they will make sure that you get the care you need.
Does GAF just attract overly paranoid people with no sense of stuffThe wound is pretty small. Half the width of my finger. It is pretty deep though since it bled a lot.
