United Kingdom: Golden Retriever named Finn attacked by pit bull

UNITED KINGDOM -- Poor Finn got bitten by a Staffie (pit bull) this evening on his walk. To be fair, it was a mutual conflict, not solely the Staffie's fault. Any suggestions for minor wounds like this? I have antibacterial powder for dogs, so I'm thinking just clean the wound and sprinkle some of that on.

Terri Bentley: Hydrogen peroxide diluted in water 50/50 will clear any infection

Juliette McGinley: Please take to the vet - my boy has been attached twice and we nearly lost him the first time - vet says bites can become infected very quickly inside - best to check x

Aileen Vincent: How's Finn now ? X

William Skene: Well despite my efforts to keep it clean, it got infected. Could tell as he started limping a little (must be the pressure of the infection). So he's now on antibiotics. He's happy though, means even more treats and affection!
