Avoiding animal bites - Naveed Yaseen - 03-13-2009 08:08 AM

Even the most friendly of cats and dogs can inadvertently bite you or a loved one, which could lead to an infection.

The American Academy of Family Physicians offers these suggestions to help prevent animal bites:

* Small children should never be left unattended with any animal.

* If you see animals fighting, avoid trying to separate them.

* Don’t approach or touch animals that appear sick, or any animals with which you’re not familiar.

* Never touch or bother an animal that is eating.

* Always keep your pets on a leash when away from home.

* Choose your family pets wisely, and make sure to keep their vaccinations current.
