My puppy's paw is swollen and she can't walk after a dog bite.

Question

My dog which is 8 months old. She got bit by my sisters dog. She has multiple bit marks but the one I'm more concerned about is her paw. It's swollen right where the bite mark is. She can't even walk on it or put pressure on it. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 7 months and 30 days old | 45 lbs

Ouch! Poor Maggie! That swelling around the bite is an indication of infection and looks like Maggie needs antibiotics. It also looks very painful so Maggie needs to go to a veterinarian to have it evaluated. That bite is near a joint so I would take her right away to avoid any serious infections.
