I wasn't there, I was out of town and my parents had her.

The other dog put her in the animal hospital for several days, she had gashes on her belly, thigh, neck and back, stitches and wounds all over the place.

It was terrifying.

How's your little pup holding up?

Missed this thread when answering the other one.

Chihuahuas are tough though. The one we had as kids twice attacked a pair of Dobermans and lived for many years after to over 20 years of age.

A horse, no problem, I'd have it covered. But dogs, no. Neosporin probably won't hurt. If the anti-itch was a benadryl type, probably won't hurt.

18. A feral cat attacked my Rottweiler once.

It then sat under a parked car and hissed and growled. I thought it might be rabid and called animal control, but they never came out to investigate. Good thing my dog had her rabies shot. My Rottie was not aggressive and all she did was bark at that mean creature.
