I don't know the answers to most of your questions. I'm dog/housesitting this week and had just heard that news from my mom. She didn't know many details. Baskerville did go to the vet. They decided not to put in stitches and try to let the wounds heal that way instead of taking a chance they wouldn't heal all the way down. She has a pretty big wound on her leg that if she starts to lick, she'll have to have a cone. Other than that I don't know much about it. I do know Baskerville was on her leash. I'm going to call my cousin in a while and ask for more details and check on them.
