Can a dog heal its wounds?
Magically? No. However, dogs do have regenerative qualities similar to any other mammal. If you cut a dog's leg off, it will not grow back. If the dog bites his toenail off, that will grow back. The dog must be alive in order for its wounds to heal. This is crucial. Dead puppies aren't much fun.
Why does your dog lick your bandage?

Does dog saliva heal wounds faster?
dogs saliva has enzymes that destroys harmful bacteria but also when a dog licks its wound its tongue gets rid of dead tissue so the wounds heal faster.This may not have the same effect for people. All animals have certain naturally occurring bacteria that live in their mouths. These same bacteria infecting your wound would likely lead to a serious medical problem. If you want to experiment with bodily fluids on your own wound, try your own tears rather than some butt-licking, carrion-eating animal's saliva.

How do you know if your dog is in pain after a fight with his male dog companion?
If there are no obvious wounds and his behavior is normal (activity is good, eating drinking and output is normal), then he is probably okay. Otherwise check in with your vet as soon as possible so he doesn't get an infection from any bites or scratches.

Do chicken feathers grow back after a dog attack?
Yes they do. We have 2 Dominique hens who were attacked by Jack Russel terriers. Feathers were everywhere and we assumed the birds were killed. We found both of them, bitten and stripped of feathers on their backsides. At the advice of our vet (why bring a $3.00 chicken for a $25.00 vet visit) we cleaned the wounds with warm water and kept the straw bedding clean and slowly the wounds did heal, the feathers grew back and you would not be able to tell they were ever attacked. Chicken are apparently very hearty birds.
