my dog bit by another dog how do i treat it?

Answer 1

I would have the vet take a look at it. Bites have a tendency to become infected. Your dog may also require a few stitches. (I hope your dog is up to date on its vaccinations)

Answer 2

What are asking? Do you want to know how to treat the dog bit or what to do about the other dog that bit your dog. If you talking about the wound then you really should see a vet because he can give you things to prevent against infection. Or go to a pet store and see if they have any antibacterial ointment or pills. If you asking about the dog that bit your dog, I would say call the police.

Answer 3

how you respond to dogs actions is how they learn the difference between what's right and what's wrong. If you treat it the same it wont think anything of it and will begin to do it more often if it wants to. If you treat it with too much of a harshness it may loose it's loyalty toward you. Also dont try doing this to the dog that bit another dog now or it will be like "what is he doing this for?"
So: Be firm with it, make sure you have an aggressive figure about yourself (stand tall, talk loudly and gruffly, and overall look tough) "bop" it on the nose and yell "NO!" at him and "BAD DOG" multiple times if necessary. Once the dog backs down and you can see in his body language (stooping, tail between legs) that it learned its lesson, then become your normal dog-loving self and pet it. In other words, reward it for realizing it did wrong and backing down admitting overall you know what's wrong and right.

Hope this helps =D good luck

Answer 4

first clean the wound with peroxide, it will take a whole bottle, then if there is a big hole you might have to sew up the wound, ( a vet would be a good idea) otherwise if there is just a small hole use some iodine then some neosporin, dont give the dog ant asprin as this can kill the dog, and no tylenol either, use a non asprin ,no motrin,keep a eye out for infection, it would be a good idea to get your dog a shot of antibiotics

Answer 5

I would treat it like any cut, clean it with hydrogen peroxide. If it is gaping, it needs stitches. The most important thing I would be worried about is if the other dog is current on it's Rabies Vaccines. I think that is a state law no matter where you live. I would demand to see a current certificate and if the owners can't produce that and there Vet can't confirm there dog is current with Rabies, I would call the police.

Answer 6

Pour hydrogen peroxide on the injury, do not apply any people ointment if the dog can lick it off as it may be toxic to animals. If the puncture wound is deep , it may require the attention of a vet as ur dog may need antibiotics to prevent infection. You don`t give enough details of the injury to properly advise u. If it`s bleeding heavily, of course u need to seek immediate help from a vet. If it were my dog, I`d take it to the vet regardless.

Answer 7

Take it into the vet asap to have it looked at. If you can't get in right away and its not too bad, clean it and badnage it as best you can but definitely get the dog into the vet just to be safe. Also depending on the circumstances of the bite you should probably report the incident to some authority.

Answer 8

You don't, you take the dog to the vets to have it properly treated. Puncher woulds are nasty and can get infected very easily, your vet can properly clean the bite site and give your the proper cream or even antibiotics to heal the wound..

Answer 9

Put hydrogen proxide on the wound and see if it bubbles up. If it does, then your pup has an infection and will need antiobiotics.
Call the emergency pet clinic and they can tell you what to do. They are open 24 hrs a day.
You can temp. put some neosporin on the wound and bandage it with cling wrapping. You will have to be sure your puppy doesn't tear it off.
I hope your puppy is better soon.

Answer 10

Take it to the vet and make sure it has had all of it's shots. And if you know the owner of the other dog ask them if that dog has had its shots
