My older dog just got his shots and they make him a little cranky every time. While going for the water bowl, he bit my 6 month old beagle mix inside the hind leg where the leg folds. The would is a puncture wound and didn't bleed at all so I think it just got the top layer of skin. She isn't limping from it, but it is a little red and swollen. She does keep licking at it to keep it clean and I have cleaned it out with peroxide. I just want to make sure it doesn't get infected until her vet visit next week when she is getting spayed (in 6 days). What can I do to help her until then? Are there any signs of infection I should look out for to take her in sooner if need be?
