In reply to the discussion: Bear was attacked by a dog at the dog park today. [View all]sorry to hear that happened. I think that is one reason I just don't take mine to the dog parks. You just never know and plus you don't know if the other dogs at the park are up to date with their shots, etc.

I like you don't have much money to spend at the vet but at the first sight or redness, swelling or pus I would get him in asap!
