Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear that. Usually dog bites are concerning because of the possible infections that can occur from this as well as the fact that usually you have to let the wounds declare themselves as they will likely worsen from what they look like initially. There is not much you can do at home unfortunately other than trying to keep him quiet as much as possible to avoid further injury. His limping may be due to soft tissue trauma. Have him evaluated early tomorrow if unable to do it tonight. Good luck! I am wishing him the best!
