Answer 1

Are both dogs current on their vaccines...?
Could be really bad news if not......
Try calling your Vet and explain what happened and what you have done so far, hopefully they will be understanding of your financial situation. And just ask what they recommend you do and use until you can get him in there.

He will have a scar on his nose-
Watch out for signs of infection-
Make sure the wound stays clean- Wipe it gently with cotton
Bring him in to the Vet when you get paid, they will likely give him a shot of antibiotics and some ointment.

Answer 2

I know your worried about not having money but dude, you have to take the puppy in to get medical attention. Look in your phone book for a vet hospital or animal clinic of some sort. Just like hospitals do, they will send you a bill for you to pay on every month. That puppy can get an infection in the wound if not properly treated.

Answer 3

i am worried about your puppy too. you BOUGHT a puppy but have no money for a vet? how does that work? that's just fantastic. your puppy probably needs stitches. you should not have gotten another dog until you were sure the two would get along! and i can't imagine why someone living paycheck to paycheck would ever bring TWO dogs into their home. what will happen if one gets hit by a car? or seriously ill? sorry pup! have to wait till payday! i hope you realize that these two dogs may never get along, and you can now NEVER EVER leave them alone unattended unless they are crated or in separate rooms.

Answer 4

Clean it with peroxide. Leave the wound open, and keep it clean, it needs to drain. You could put a loose bandage on it. If you close up an animal bite, it can get infected and the puppy will have bigger problems. You will be surprised at how fast they heal. You will still need to go the vet to get antibiotics.

Do some research on your other dog and aggression.

Answer 5

Wash the wound with rubbing Alcohol, let it dry, then apply a triple antibiotic. Slowly let these dogs get used to each other.Dogs are pack animals ,it takes a little time for the old dog to realize the new pup belongs. I have had as many as 13 dogs at one time.My sons had hunting dogs had my daughter and myself had house dogs.We keep working with them until they all got alone.Best wishes and Good Luck.

Answer 6

i think u should call a vet an see what u should do. let them know u dont have money right now, they may take ur dog anyway if not just see what u could do till u have the money.

Answer 7

I realize you don't have any money.Perhaps the vet can give you a payment plan.The puppy needs medical help.
Don't wait until it's too late .Only a vet can properly treat
your puupy for infection.I hope this advice isn't too late.
Your question broke my heart.I just lost my 14 year old
dog and still miss her.

Answer 8

What Heather said. And I've had vets work with me when I brought sick pets in to them for a payment plan. Right now, just try to keep Puppy quiet and as comfortable as reasonably possible.

Good luck!

Answer 9

Most vets will see you just like a regular doctor you can ask if you can make payments if you are that worried take care of the little guy.

Answer 10

Call every vet in the book. you will find one who is willing to repair your pups nosed now and get paid later. if you have a checkbook, offer to give them a post dated check. worked for me!!
