Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'm sorry to hear Scooby got bit. I would recommend Scooby be seen by his veterinarian as soon as possible. It is possible that the bite wound may be deeper than it appears, it may need stitches, or it may need antibiotics to prevent it from becoming infected. I would have it seen by your regular veterinarian, have them assess the severity, and determine if further treatment is necessary. Good luck!
