1. Follow DRSABCD. 
2. Wash and clean the wound with soap and water. 
3. Apply a sterile dressing. 
4. Monitor for signs of infection. 
5. Seek medical aid if necessary. 

If the bite has resulted in a severely bleeding wound: 

1. Follow DRSABCD. Call Triple Zero (000) for an ambulance. 
2. Apply gloves if available. Remove or cut the patient’s clothing to expose the wound. 
3. Apply firm, direct and continuous pressure on the bleeding wound – initially with your hands until the bleeding stops. The patient or a bystander can do this. 
4. Apply a pad or dressing in or directly over the wound and apply firm, direct and continuous pressure until the bleeding stops. 
5. Once bleeding is controlled secure the pad by bandaging firmly, ensuring the pad remains directly over the wound. Observe for any further bleeding. 
6. Manage the patient for shock. Do not give the patient anything to eat or drink. 
7. Continue to monitor the patient whilst waiting for medical aid.
