Are pony bites infectious?

Anything that breaks skin can be infectious. Being from mouth and it being a farm animal wouldn't be surprising if you left it untreated it got infected. They eat grass and hay whether they be in a field or a stall. They walk in mud, feces, urine and I doubt they get their mouth cleaned. Clean your bite wound and watch it. If it gets red, inflamed, puss where the dead skin is get to the doctors asap. If left untreated it can result in loss of limb and if it hits the blood stream, your life.
