It depends on the water, no matter what you should have the wound covered, but in pond water i wouldn't suggest it, but in a pool it wouldn't be to dangerous but use caution, it could burn you because of the chemicals, plus if there's a lifeguard they wouldn't let you in.
Make sure your dog is up to date on his Rabies & DHLP/Parvo vaccinations. Take your dog in to be checked out by your Veterinarian and see what he or she has to say about the bite wound plus the Vet can treat the wound at that time. Bite wounds have a tendency to become very septic and infected so best to have a Veterinarian check out the bite wound.
puncture
If a dog bit you and didn't puncture the skin, no, no rabies. If you mean there is no dog blood in the wound but still your blood, yes, chance of rabies.
I am an EMT. My training says....Bite. You could go as far as to say puncture, rip, tear, avulsion. But that depends on what kind of damage was done.
A cat bite on a dog is treated by a vet according to the severity of the bite. The dog could only require the wound to be cleaned. The vet may prescribe antibiotics as a precaution to prevent any related illnesses that may occur. Normally a dog would not require stitches from a cat bite. The vet would determine the medical needs of the dog.
A black fly bite on a dog appears the same as it would on a human or anything else. It looks like a large mosquito bite, but the affected area will be much more swollen, tender, and red.
Treat the wound as any other puncture wound.
Rabies. Although, if the dog has had it's rabies shot you don't need a vaccine. You just need to get the wound cleaned. Go to your doctor and tell him. He'll know what to do.
Dog bites are not to be taken lightly. You will need to wash the wound out thoroughly and apply antibiotic ointment. If it is a large bite, you will need to get to a doctor quickly. You should also inquire as to the dog's health and recent rabies shots - get proof. Otherwise, you may have to go through the series of rabies shots.
