Don't panic, but don't ignore the bite.
Wash the wound thoroughly and vigorously with soap and lots of water.
If possible, capture the animal under a large box or at least try to identify it before it runs away. Don’t try to pick the animal up!
If the animal cannot be caught and it must be killed to prevent its escape, don’t damage the head. The brain will be needed to test for rabies.
Obtain necessary medical treatment.
