my friends 12 year old pitbull was attacked by a gigantic bull mastiff the other day and today my friend came over with him and i noticed his cheek was swollen, then i was told what happened. so Roscoe, his pitbull was attacked by this bull mastif and the mastif grabbed a hold of Roscoes cheek and yanked before his owner got him off. the result is a fairly small hole in the lining of the inside of Roscoe's cheek, not going all the way through but a small hole in the lining. i told my friend that i think he should go to the vet, it doesnt look like its big enough to need stiches but cuts in the mouth are hard to heal because of all the bacteria and i think antibiotics would be the best way to go, especially since there is some pus coming out of it. he is unemployed right now and doesnt think he has enough money for a vet visit. so ive been using hydrogen peroxide and cleaning it every couple of hours, and after he eats. his owner gave him some ibuprofen to bring the swelling down and between the two its seemed to help alot.
any ideas on what else i could do until his owner gets some money together for a vet would be awesome, he's doing way better then he was this morning but anything would be helpful...
