Just an opinion, but I'd give the dog 2 mg's of Benydryl per pound (plus a little) and knock her out.

Then you can explore the wounds and make sure there isn't muscular damage. If it's just small skin wounds, then flush with povidone iodine. If it's deeper wounds, get to your vet.

Monitor her closely for infection.

This thread makes my head hurt.


OP - go get your dog some antibiotics from the vet. Nasty beaver teeth puncturing your dog's skin 5x. Yeah, pretty high risk of infection there.
