>>If it did not break the skin, I would not worry about it.
Edit: If is is just a small scrape, I would put some hydrogen peroxide on it to clean it out after washing with soap and water. If it is in an area that the dog cannot get to to lick (eg. middle of shoulder blades, etc.) I would put some neosporin on it. This has worked for me in the past with my dog. Good luck.

Take the dog to the vet as soon as possible. Maybe the dog needs stitches or something to close the bite up. Try to maybe rinse the bite out with water to cool it, maybe offer some temporary relief. Hope I helped.

Just keep an eye on the wound if anything strange comes about with it then take it to the vet but other wise it should be ok

It's a little late now. But I hope that bigger dog has had his rabies shots.
The little dog might be all right with simply a lot of loving, but there is always just in case.

My dad actually made a cream out of neosporin and that red liquid, forgot the name, we used it on our dog, on some cuts he had, and worked like a charm.

I don't think you should take him/her to the vet. I would suggest just to wash it out with water and soap to make sure it won't get infected. Just make sure your dog doesn't get in another fight=] good luck
