Your vet will examine your dog, then clean your dogs wounds by shaving away the hair, and cleaning with betadine and alcohol. Your vet will also give you antibiotics for any infection that may be present and your dog will heal.

Get your Dog to the vet. He needs to looked over really well.
So you know this other Dog? The Other dog could be sick and so now is yours .
How deep are the puncher wounds?
Or are their tears?
All the wound needs to be cleaned,needs to know if stiches are needed.
And a good antibotic needs to be given.
Also, now you need to watch her closely as she now maybe a changed Dog.It happens after a attack like this to many dogs that I have know and loved.

She needs to go to a vet. She will probably be put on antibiotics. A dog bite has a good chance of infection because of the bacteria in their mouth. Better to be safe about it. If she gets an infection and it goes untreated, it could get bad very quickly. Not to mention much more expensive. At this point it SHOULD only be an office visit cost and of course antibiotics if they are prescribed. Much better than her ending up very sick and in the hospital!! Mine is sick now and it is horrible! Hope all goes well
