Ferret Bite

A 8 year old caucasian boy with no significant medical history. He squatted to see the female ferret on eye level and the ferret lunged at him biting him on the forehead. The ferret latched onto his forehead and it took approximately 45 seconds for the ferret's owner to force the ferret to unlatch. Boy bled moderately from the slightly edematous wound for several minutes. The pressure was applied to stop bleeding. The clean technique was used to clean the wound with tap water, apply topical antibiotic ointment to the site. The sterile technique was used to cover the site with a sterile bandage. The site healed without complications but did scar.
