Hi, poor Kookie ! You should clean his wounds with lots of saline solution or sterilised water and you might need to see your vet if they discharge a lot over the next few days. This provided your dog is vaccinated against Rabies, if he is not you should see your vet ASAP.

    Poor Ceilidh! I would certainly recommend having the bite evaluated by a vet. She will likely need the area clipped, cleaned, and may need antibiotics. She should also have her rabies vaccine boostered if the vaccination status of the other dog is unknown.
