Treatment for Dog Bitten By Other Dog
by Gina
(Guaynabo, Puerto Rico)
My 12lb toy poodle was attacked by a Pit bull mix dog. His injuries are around the neck. I took him to the emergency room where they gave him Rymadyl .5, Penicillin .75, and Baytril .30.
They wanted to put some drainage in his neck for his swelling. I did not think it was necessary so I got a second opinion. The second Vet agreed with me didn't think it was necessary and just bandage him up and sent him home with Famotidine 20mg, Metacam 1.5mg/ml, and Clavamox Drops.
What do you think of all these meds? And what can I do additionally to speed the healing process?
Thanks, Gina
