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.

For some reason, something tells me the OP should probably listen to this guy.

THIS MAN knows his stuff. I'm very grateful to him for providing insight into what my vet had told me about a rare disease...by Aubie providing just a KEY reference point I was able to have piece of mind. Yes, I brought my dog to the vet and it turned from a rare liver condition to a simple auto-immune condition that only attacks the skin around the nose.

Listen to him.
