Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Anytime a dog is bitten by another dog, especially a bigger dog, prompt evaluation is crucial. I recommend that you have Brownie evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible for further assessment and treatment. Usually what you see from the outside is just the tip of the iceberg and more internal wounds are possible. Good luck! I hope she recovers quickly!
