In all cases of animal bites you must visit a doctor as soon as possible as their is serious risk of infection (including rabies) which is fatal without treatment.A
Clean the wound and remove any foreign objects (e.g. broken teeth) from the wound. The UK National Health Service recommend that you place the wound under warm running water for at least 10 minutes. Antiseptics or alcohol should also be used to clean the wound where available.
If the wound is not bleeding then you should squeeze it gently to encourage bleeding (this help flush out foreign objects).
Next it is important that you visit a doctor as animal bites can transmit infections including bacterial infections that can cause blood poisoning requiring treatment with antibiotics. Tetanus can also be caught from animal bites and is potentially fatal if untreated.
More seriously it is possible to catch rabies from an animal bite, which must be treated immediately to minimise the risk of infection (if symptoms of rabies do develop, it is to late for treatment and is fatal).
Please see the related link from the UK National Health Service for more information.
A Note that the risk of rabies is different for differing countries (low / lower in Western Europe and the US / Canada, much higher in Africa , South and Central America and parts of Eastern Europe), however you must still see a doctor.
