What does the abbreviation of DO after a doctors name mean?
Doctor of Optometry is O.D. and Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine is D.O. The old aging DOs in the AOA could help eliminate the disrepancy by changing their initials to M.D., D.O., like the younger D.O.s want. But these old D.O.s are dumb so they don't change their degree to better represent that they are indeed medical doctors.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The abbreviation D.O. after a physician's name stands for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. As mentioned in the answer immediately above mine, a Doctor of Optometry, which is different from a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, is given the initials O.D. after their name. The initials often get confused but the professions are quite different.

Additionally, both DOs and MDs may sit for board certification examinations and each type of physician has the same legal and medical responsibilities such as prescribing medications, performing surgery, working in the hospital, medical diagnosis, etc. The difference between a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine and Doctor of Medicine is a slight one-Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, in addition to the standard medical curriculum, receive 300-500 hours of instruction in a form of manual therapy known as osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM).

Should you go to the doctor if you are bitten by a flea?
It's hard to disinfect a bite wound, and if it's a serious one, a hospital can help a lot. If you want to treat it at home, here's what you need to do: Any bite wound presents the immediate problem of bleeding. Once that is controlled, you need to concentrate on infection. So, once bleeding is controlled, work on prophylacsis. Get a basin of warm water. Add to it hydrogen peroxide (.5C) and betadyne (.25C). Some soap won't hurt. Scrub the wound immersed -- not hard enough to open it, but enough to clean it. Let it soak for at least 20 minutes. Dry it gently, and bandage with a loose, sterile wrap. Check it daily -- if it infects, you're off to the doctor. Change the dressing every day and disinfect with betadyne or H2O2 -- or both -- and re-wrap. The way that dog bites go south is if an infection forms up. If you can stop that by consistent cleaning, and the wound doesn't need sutures, you're home free. If it infects, you're beyond the scope of what you can do at home. Note: Human bites are worse.
