I am sorry about Tiger. I would be concerned he could have an abscess or infection in the leg. Bite wounds are a site that can easily become infected because a dog's mouth harbors bacteria and the bite can create a deep puncture, inoculating the wound with bacteria. A systemic antibiotic may be needed, so I would recommend a visit to a veterinarian.
