My dog bit me while I gave medicine. Is his mouth bump serious?

This looks like it could be a growth and it's clearly bothering him if he's biting at it. Any suspicious lumps should be examined by the vet. The vet can perform a test called a fine needle aspirate on it. To do this, the vet sticks a small needle into the lump to get a sample of its cells, and examines the cells on a slide under a microscope. It's usually painless to the animal, and relatively quick to perform. Once the cause of the lump is diagnosed, the vet can discuss treatment options if needed. Give his vet a call to make him an appointment.

Your question is a human medical question, which we are not qualified to answer. You need to check with your human doctor about taking the rabies vaccines. In terms of your dog, if he had rabies, he would have been dead by now if he had it three months ago when he bit you.

I am sorry to hear about your concern for your puppy. The answer to this question will depend on the circumstances. If this is a puppy you do not know/a stray/from an uknown home then I would recommend contacting your human physician. If this is your puppy who has been in your care with no exposure to wildlife and who is acting normally/healthy then the concern for rabies is very low but it does look like there is a puncture in your skin so I would recommend consulting your human doctor as we can develop bacterial infections due to dog bites and your doctor can advise you if treatment is necessary.

It is unlikely that your puppy has rabies, however there are three things you need to do: 1) do not play with your puppy with your face close to it. 2) have your puppy vaccinated ( it will need at least three courses of vaccines to protect it from parvo. distemper and other viral diseases, as well as rabies 3) see a doctor for your lip injury.

It looks like it could have been from the same type of issue of trying to push through the fence. It does look particularly infected or severely inflamed. You can monitor it for a few days. If it does not improve on its own, have him evaluated by your veterinarian to ensure there is not an underlying infectious cause that would warrant the use of antibiotics. I think Emmitt is likely to be just fine. Good luck!

This bite wound should be considered infected and ideally seen by your human doctor as antibiotics may be needed. If your dog was vaccinated against rabies and vaccination was still active, then there no risk of this specific infection.

Although a pic would help to determine the underlying nature of the lump, This kind of lump/growth needs to be ideally assessed by your veterinarian to have a definitive and specific answer. Usually there are two ways your vet can do that a part from examining it directly during physical examination. A biopsy can be taken under local or general anesthetic, otherwise a smaller sample through a fine needle can be aspirated (this technique is called FNA= fine needle aspiration). Differentials include skin cysts, infections, benign or more sinister type of tumors.
