    Did the bite, the teeth pierce the clothing, Animal mouths have many germs and issues of infection can be very serious. It is not the rabies to fear but 100 of other infections that may be present.

    Not knowing the extent and seriousness of the injury it is hard to tell you. But, if healing is not progressing, a visit to your general doctor would be the first step
