Hi my dogs got into a tiff yesterday and my eldest dog nipped my other dogs nose. It bled for a bit stopped. And now his snout is swollen. Is there anything I could do?

I would have Renji seen by a vet immediately. This bite could have caused damage internally leading to the swelling, and if his snout becomes more swollen that could cause difficulties breathing leading to respiratory distress. Dog bites often become infection, and Renji may need antibiotics to treat the infection which the vet can prescribe. Please take him into a vet now.
