#dogbitesdog would be the headline - but it can be a really sorry story if your canine receives a nip from another dog. In this video, poor Buster the Boxer dog has been #dogbitten - by another dog - and taken to the Abbey House Veterinary Hospital near Leeds for treatment. Vet Laura Smith explains to his owner that with any dog bites, it's important to have the wound examined to prevent potentially dangerous infections. The veterinary advice given in this video is of a general nature only. If you are concerned about your own dog's health, always take them to your vet. Dog bites inflicted on another dog is a common occurrence in veterinary surgeries. It can be as a result of playing too aggressively or more likely during a fight. But if it happens to you it can be a traumatic experience as Karen and Andy owners of Buster the Boxer know only too well.
We were out walking with Buster yesterday and he were attacked by a crossbred Boxer Rottweiler. Buster were on a lead and the other dog weren’t on a lead and we just walked up to them and he just attacked him. Just completely out of nowhere. So very aggressive. I had to get between them and I had to pull Buster back.
Buster was bitten on the leg and didn’t sleep too well last night whimpering and shaking. He’s also having difficulty climbing the stairs.
When a dog gets bitten by another dog, sometimes the teeth don’t necessarily puncture through the skin, so there might be nothing to see, but that doesn’t mean that it hasn’t done damage underneath. More often than not, though, it does go through the skin and sometimes it can puncture quite a big vein or artery and you can see a lot of bleeding. If that’s the case, then apply direct pressure to it. Phone your vet, tell them that you’re on your way and just get down there as soon as possible. If it is bleeding very badly, then it might need to be stitched. If it’s just a skin wound and it’s not open too much, quite often they may be left just to heal up on their own with antibiotics, because sometimes it’s quite a bad idea to stitch
