Poor suppie! She may have developed an infection and swelling from the dog bite. Since she is so small, I strongly recommend to have your vet look at her they can get her started on the proper antibiotics if needed. Unfortunately there are no great over the counter meds to help. Waiting too long and this is an infection it could cause a systemic infection which can be much more dangerous. I hope this helps!
