This is my first time having an injured girl! My Pomeranian got my 4 month buff orp. She seems to be in good spirits despite the attack. She ate and drank a little afterwards. I've cut her remaining feathers back, cleaned her with 50/50 peroxide dilution, warm soap water rinse and then a neosporin pack. I have her inside in a dog crate with old towels, food and water and left the wound uncovered. She was limping pretty good earlier but her leg is straight and she's now bearing weight on it better. She's missing a large area as you can see but it didn't bleed much. There are a few punctures that are about 1/4" deep. Do I keep doing what I'm doing by simply keeping it clean and allowing it to heal open or does this look more serious than I can handle? Antibiotics? Special diet?
Any feedback is much appreciated!!
