My dog was attacked, won't put weight on leg. Should I see a vet?

Question

I just need to know if I should bring my dog in or not. :/ Hes a 5 year old Jack Russell mix and my 55lbs mutt got jealous and attacked him earlier. (Around 1:30) There's 3 shallow puncture wounds. I've given him a bath and cleaned those. For the first 1.5 he wouldn't put pressure on his paw/leg. Then he started a moving little (I didn't let him move much) he was limping. Now its 6:30 and he wont put pressure on it again. He whimpers when he does. I wrapped his leg up, should I take him in? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | 4 years and 2 months old | 18 lbs

Poor Paco. Yes take him into a vet immediately. If he won't put pressure on his leg, he's in a lot of pain and unfortunately there are no pain relievers you can give him. Many human ones are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. I'd take him into a vet now. I hope this helps!
