Why are my dogs fighting? One is bleeding. How do I help him?

Question

My sheepadoodle and my Yorkie are always being aggressive towards each other. Today, they were fighting and my dogs waterline started bleeding, and I don't know how to clean it or anything. Please help me with what to do. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 3 years and 9 months old | 11 lbs

Oh no, poor Lucky! I see that he isn't neutered and I wonder if your other dog isn't neutered as well. If they both aren't neutered, that can be contributing to their aggression in that it can be hormonally driven. Intact dogs will fight over territory. I would have both your dogs neutered as soon as possible. As for Lucky's penis bleeding, it sounds like it was injured. You can apply pressure to see if it stops the bleeding, and then clean the wound with warm water and antiseptic soap. If the wound is deep and or long, he will need to see a vet asap for stitches. Otherwise, you may have to put an Ecollar on him to keep him from licking at it so it can heal. You can get an Ecollar from a pet store or you can make one at home. If you see any redness, swelling, warmth to the touch, or pus, it's infected and he will need to see a vet. http://dogsaholic.com/care/homemade-dog-cone.html
