A bite injury ALWAYS causes infection and this dog needs antibiotics. If there are only puncture wounds it is likely not broken but can swell up very large and is painful. You need to call a vet. If you can not afford to take the dog in, they 'might' be willing to sell you a 10 day supply of antibiotics with out seeing the dog if you explain what happened and describe the wounds. In any case.. do not put this off. It is a very serious injury no matter what.

Take it to the vet. It could be swollen from a dog bite that ruptured a blood vessel and the blood is pooling up in the leg. Take it to the vet.

similar sex pairings oftentimes do no longer exercising recurring, or perhaps as 2 women opt for they are not getting alongside it truly is that. i'm assuming Dixie is likewise lady? I used to save a large type of dogs contained in the domicile decrease back contained in the 80's-13. 12 huge dogs one little dogs. All changed into large till that thirteenth dogs hit adulthood and determined she hated the Siberian that changed into her similar age. She could attack the Siberian which may then throw many others in my %. right into a wrestle. i changed into waiting to maintain order contained in the domicile, yet I had to section off my outside and placed the dogs into communities. presently of my 3 older dogs I surely have 2 women that dislike one yet another, consistently have. those dogs have seperate yards. i could confident save the Papillon out of the mixture. when I had that team of 13 my little dogs who changed into minding his personal organization were given jumped and had one his jugulars punctured. That turned right into a interesting journey to the emergency vet. He did live to inform the tale. because the Doberman is a sparkling addition- if making seperate yards isn't an decision perchance sending her decrease back to the individuals you receive her from may be the proper element.

I am not one who usually says rush to the vet. This time I say take the dog to the vet. Swelling means something is wrong. It can not be diagnosed on line, only by examining the dog. Hopefully it isn't anything serious.

YOUR DOG NEEDS TO SEE A VET. AFTER A FIGHT THERE IS ALWAYS A POSS OF INJURY. THE LEG COULD HAVE A TORN MUSCLE OR TENDONS OR IT COULD BE BROKEN. IF THE SKIN WAS TORN THEN IT COULD GET INFECTED TOO. IF YOU WANT TO BE AN ANIMAL OWNER THEN TAKE THE RESPONSIBLITY. PLEASE TAKE HIM TO THE VET.
