Unfortunately there is no way to link this question with your previous one. So I don’t have all the history or the question you asked. However, those appear to be bite wounds on Lady, and pretty significant ones. I would encourage you to have her evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. She is likely painful and would benefit from pain management as well as she needs to have the wounds cleaned and started on antibiotics. The one on the hind leg may need to be sutured. Best of luck and I hope this was helpful even without knowing your question. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
