One should be able to judge the severity. I was bitten by a small dog once on the middle finger. It swelled up pretty big the next day, started draining puss from the teeth holes, was red and hot to the touch. Had to take some pain pills just to go to sleep that night. Was better in the morning though, so didn't go to ER.
