The boys and I were having a lovely walk around the Castle this morning, enjoying the much needed sunshine and lovely dew on the grass
, the boys had met lots of their normal morning play friends, when we met 3 men out walking their 3 dogs off lead, so I assumed that they were ok with other dogs, hmm wont be doing that again.
Rocky didn't want to go near the dogs and stuck to my side, (should have sounded alarm bells) however, Snoopy being the friendly outgoing doggy dog he is, he went and said hello to the collie x, Lab x and finally the brown lab (called Duke), when out of the blue the lab bit him
, I didn't realise he actually had made a wound until we got home and Snoopy wouldn't get out of the car, he was covered in blood (not helped by the fact that his coat was wet, so blood probably looked worse than it actually was, but still a big shock).
So carried my little man into the house, wiped him down with the first towel I could find which was white, (I know not a great plan) brain not in gear at that point. Showered him off and started trying to find where the bit was, not easy on a wet hairy cocker, but finally 15 mins later and a whole roll of toilet roll, tracked down the puncture wound in the edge of his ear (so shaved off some hair to inspect wound), the wound albeit is tiny, is definitely a tooth puncture, I've cleaned it and put antibiotic cream on it. It was still bleeding a little bit when I left him this morning (going home later to check him), the wound is clean, but I'm not sure if I should go to the vets with him and get him checked or whether to just leave it heal itself (if this was a puncture caused by Rocky I wouldn't bother, but given horrid dog made it, I'm not sure what to do).
Any advice?
