My dog got off leash today (broke the cord) and ran into another dog who she began to harass by sniffing and stuff, the other dog who was with her owner on a leash, got annoyed and bit my dog, a small bite but still it punctured slightly.
My questions are:
1. The bite wound is like a very small puncture, she probably got a tooth in it a little bit, there is a little blood, not much else, my dog doesn't flinch or anything when I touch it, so it's very minor. I've cleaned it with Hydrogen Peroxide, is this adequate? I was told that if it doesn't get swollen or anything, I should be okay and I won't need a vet, thoughts? Also, my dog already is current on all vaccinations, including rabies.
2. Because my dog was off leash when she found the other dog and the other dog was leashed, who is responsible for any possible medical treatment? Let's say, I did need medical treatment for dog, would the other dog's owner be responsible or would I be responsible because she got off leash?
