    Keep the Wounds clean.. Wash it out ever few hrs if U can. Make sure they stay clean. Keep her away from other dogs till she is seen by the vet. And Call As soon as they are open in the AM. Let the Wounds breath. *Unless they are Really deep and still bleeding. And I wouldn't let those girls NEAR Each other.. at all. PERIOD! Just cause ure around doesn't mean it wont happen again! Talk to a Behaviourist. But, If they can't help.. they may tell you to keep em seperated for the rests of there lives.. This Wont get better without further help.


    Good luck!

    We have taken them to behavior councelor,they have not fought in months,My daughter was home when this happend,They were seprerated for almost a year,But in pictures you see them they were fine.They are both spayed also.The vet also said that should help the matter.


    They have fought before yes,But never to this measure,Usually they just back off.I really do not know what to do,Lacy will be seen by my vet in the morning,she would be there tonight if it was possible.It is really hard for me to deal with this,I cannot keep one locked in a room for the rest of its life.


    I can just do one thing at a time,my first thing is getting Lacy looked after,I dont want to be made out as a bad owner,You all know i always do what is best for my animals.Molly is bad when it comes to Lacy i dont know why she does this to her.

    Lori - don't rip the scabs off! Just my thought - that is how the skin heals...
    That is what a friend of mine said......She said if you let it scab it will get infected inside,But Lacy is obviously not going to scab overnight,Im not doing anything other then cleaning her,Im too scared to do anything until i see my vet tomorrow morning.

    Well, there is definitely hierarchy issues here. You really need to seek some help on how to make them see that YOU'RE alpha.

    hi sorry I am just now seeing this!!..how is Lacy doing this morning???....I work at a Vet Clinic and we had a dog come in about three days ago with puncture wounds from a dog fight the main thing is KEEP IT CLEAN! you don't really want to put a bandage on because punture wounds do better when the can breath to heal...you can put a little vasoline on the wounds after you have cleaned them and such to keep any dirt or debre from getting in the wound or your vet can give you a wound salve which will keep debre out and medicate the wound also ...she should be just fine! ...I hope she is doing better today!!
