My dog was bitten in the mouth. How long to heal & avoid infection?

Question

Hello! My dog was bitten inside the mouth by another dog (pic). She is on antibiotics for 10 days. How can I expedite healing and how long is infection no longer a threat? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 7 years and 4 months old | 55 lbs

You cannot expedite healing as the body takes as long as needed to heal. As long as your dog is on antibiotics there should be no infection. By the time the antibiotics are all given, this should have healed.
