A goat just rammed into my leg really hard, and now it's bleeding. It's pretty painful, so I'm wondering what I should do. Should I get some kind of injection or are there specific meds I need to take?

I'm sorry to hear about your injury. Clean the wound with mild soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and cover it with a sterile bandage. If the bleeding continues or if the goat wasn't vaccinated, its important to get a tetanus shot and possibly consult a doctor for further treatment.

Question

I accidentally cut my finger on a sharp, rusty piece of iron today. I got a tetanus shot about two years ago, so I'm wondering if I need another one now. The bleeding was minimal and has stopped, but should I be worried about it?

Question

Alright, so yesterday around 1:30 PM, I got the Covid-19 vaccine. Then, a few hours later, I fell off my bike and got some scrapes and bumps on my leg and hand. I went to the closest clinic to get my wounds looked at, and the doctor there told me I should get a tetanus shot within 24 hours. Im wondering, is it really necessary to get it in that exact time frame, or is there some flexibility? Can I get the tetanus shot within 48 hours instead? What should I do?
