I would recommend that Shiloh get checked out by a vet as soon as possible. Dog bites can cause a lot of damage that may not be apparent on top of the skin. They can also become easily infected. Shiloh's symptoms could indicate an issue related to the dog fight including pain. Unfortunately there are no human OTC pain medications that are safe for use in pets.
