Hello my dog got bite by my other dog :( what is the best cleanser to use?? I’ve been using dial antibacterial soap but I was reading on google that can be harmful? If it is what would I look for if she’s been harmed by the soap. I’ve used it for 2 days. Ps: the wound is near her lip.

Poor Maisy! You don't have to keep washing the wound, you can use an antibacterial spray on it. You can get one from a pet store. If the wound appears infected (red, warmth to the touch, swelling, pus), then you will need to take her into the vet to get it treated. I hope this helps!
