My dog was attacked by a wild animal. What to do immediately?

Your dog needs to be seen by a veterinarian today for wound control, possibly an x-ray to determine whether there is a joint problem. If wounds are found (small puncture wounds, for example, your dog will need antibiotics. I hope your dog is up to date on his rabies vaccination.

Oh no, poor Hailey! I'm so sorry she was attacked by a coyote. This is a medical emergency, and she has to see a vet now. Coyotes have very strong bites, and she could have internal damage from the attack. This will also be very painful for her. Given that she is up to date on her rabies vaccine, I'm not concerned about that but I am concerned about internal injuries and pain. She needs veterinary care now, please take her into vet right away.

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!

Oh my. Dog bite wounds need to be treated by a medical professional. I would highly recommend taking Drugs in to your local veterinarian right away for medical care and attention. She needs antibiotics and proper cleaning and possibly suturing of her wounds based on how deep and extensive they are. Here is a financial assistance website that may be of assitance if needed. http://m.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_veterinary_care.html Bset of luck and take care with your pet Drugs.

Have Luna seen by a vet now. There could be internal injures from being bit by the pitbull, and only a vet can diagnose that. In addition, dog bites frequently become infected, and oral antibiotics are needed to prevent an infection. It's very important though to have her seen by a vet right away to make sure she doesn't have internal injuries, so that is what I think you should do. Take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.

It's best to take Mini to the emergency vet as soon as possible. Mini could have life-threatening injuries. The vet will be able to assess the severity of the injuries and provide the necessary treatment.

How scary. I would recommend going to a vet for evaluation and x-rays even though it doesn't seem like she has injuries. Internal bleeding in the abdomen or chest is very common when small animals are attacked by larger animals. She could also be in shock and need some supportive care. If going to an emergency/24hour clinic isn't an option, keep her warm and offer food and water as soon as she'll take them, but know she may be in more danger than is immediately obvious and sadly internal injuries can results in fairly sudden death.
