A dog attacked our dog, Bandit, who is 17 months old. The attack resulted in broken skin on the back, scratches on the leg and underbelly, and bleeding. Bandit's shots are up to date, and he is energetic. What immediate steps can be taken to care for Bandit's wounds until we can get to the vet in the morning?
