My dog was attacked. What should I do and how much will the vet cost?

Poor Paco. Yes take him into a vet immediately. If he won't put pressure on his leg, he's in a lot of pain and unfortunately there are no pain relievers you can give him. Many human ones are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. I'd take him into a vet now. I hope this helps!

That would entirely depend on the severity of the bite, the clinic you went to, and what needed to be done (stitches, pain meds, drain, antibiotics, sedation, etc). It is best to avoid having Buster get into a fight in the first place.

I'm sorry to hear about your dog. She looks like she is experiencing some swelling in the face and is almost certainly in some pain. I understand that you don't have much money, but she almost certainly requires pain medication, anti-inflammatory medication, and antibiotics. The wounds on the face should be clipped around then cleaned with antiseptic in order to disinfect. Depending on the size of any wounds, they may need to be closed with stitches. Some veterinarians reserve medications and / or funding for situations like these that require need. You may also be eligible to apply for care credit. Here is the website. It allows you to obtain monies for veterinary care and pay it off over long periods of time interest free. https://www.carecredit.com/ Any time there is an attack in the face, I would also have to be concerned about possible trauma to the eye. If he is experiencing any difficulty getting around or looks off balanced in any way, there could be head trauma as well. A vet will be needed to make these determinations. I hope you are able to figure things out.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Oh no! Poor Killer! you need to get Killer to a Vet today. The wound itself needs surgery to explore it and close it with stitches. But the Vet has to make sure that the leg isn't broken and he isn't in shock. Ultimately if it is just the wound he should be fine. He will need that wound addressed. I wish Killer the best!

It’s difficult to assess wounds from a photograph. Make sure that Izzy is eating, drinking and urinating and defecating normally. Make sure she is acting normally and nonpainful. Keep the wounds clean and dry. You can wash the wounds with warm water with a small amount of dilute betadine solution- about the color of weak tea. Prevent her for licking or chewing the wounds- if necessary she may need an e-collar. If there is a foul odor, excessive discharge, heat, pain or other signs of illness then Izzy really need to see a veterinarian. I hope she heals quickly. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

I would recommend contacting a mobile veterinarian and see if they can come out to your house and work on her there. If she is too difficult to handle, you may need a veterinarian and technicians to safely grab her using restraining techniques / drugs to be able to get her the treatment she needs. You can even feed her treats with sedatives in them to get her. I would see if the mobile veterinarian can come out to start with. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. Poor boy! He needs to see a vet now to get treated. He's in a lot of pain and he needs antibiotics as well as pain medication. Please contact his owners to get permission to get him into a vet now. Best of luck.
