If you think your dog has hurt it's leg I'd recommend taking it to the vets. You don't want it to suffer unnecessarily. If it's limping check first that it doesn't have a cut or something stuck in it's paw.
Dog bites can be very serious. The visible wound is like the tip of an iceberg, usually there is a lot more damage underneath the skin. The bite should be cleaned thoroughly and antibiotics should be used. Take your pup to the vet.
1. Keep the person calm, reassuring them that bites can be effectively treated in an emergency room. Restrict movement, and keep the affected area below heart level to reduce the flow of venom pain.
2. If you have a pump suction device (such as that made by Sawyer), follow the manufacturer's directions.
3. Remove any rings or constricting items because the affected area may swell. Create a loose splint to help restrict movement of the area.
4. If the area of the bite begins to swell and change color, the snake was probably poisonous.
5. Monitor the person's vital signs -- temperature, pulse, rate of breathing, and blood pressure -- if possible. If there are signs of shock (such as paleness), lay the person flat, raise the feet about a foot, and cover the person with a blanket.
6. Get medical help right away.
7. Bring in the dead snake only if this can be done safely. Do not waste time hunting for the snake, and do not risk another bite if it is not easy to kill the snake. Be careful of the head when transporting it -- a snake can actually bite for up to an hour after it's dead (from a reflex).
8. Before anything try to poor tea on it, which contains Tannin that helps draw out liquid and tighten pores.
Do Not:
1. Contact an ambulance or any other emergency hot line that can help. (your first option is to get the victim to a hospital)
2. If you cannot get to a hospital in time begin treating wound
3. Clean the wound to avoid infection. If using a wipe of some sort try not to rub the same place twice this can cause infection
4. Cover the wound with a clean dressing. This doesn't have to be too tight
5. Try to calm the victim while applying first aid, a slower heart rate can mean a slower reaction to venom as well as a slowed spread of the venom
6. Tie a cloth about six inches above the wound to restrict venom flow. You should be able to fit one finger under the cloth.
7. Keep the wound below the heart
8. Check the wound periodically for swelling
9. Apply splint if needed. (a splint is to stop or decrease movement of the injured area.)
Do not try to sucks venom out of the wound. This can greatly increase the chance of infection and will probably not accomplish much.
These steps for treating poisonous snakebites assume that you have no special equipment such as a snakebite kit and do not have immediate access to medical services.[1]
Cutting or sucking out the posion will not help will only create more problems - infections. If possible bring the snake with you so the appropriate medications can be provided. If it is not, a picture would help, as now a days everyone has a cell phone in their pocket.
Keep the victim calm, move them away from the snake and do not try to kill the snake.
Minimize the victims activity level; this will slow down the spread of the venom through the bloodstream.
Immediately remove any jewelry, such as rings, bracelets or watches, due to possible swelling.
Seek medical attention as soon as possible by dialing 9-1-1, or transporting the victim to the nearest medical facility. Getting immediate medical help for the victim is crucial.
If possible apply snake bite first aid if you can not get the person immediate medical attention. Keep the bite wound below the level of the heart.
Clean the bite with soap and water and apply a clean, dry dressing.
It's important to know which type of snake has bitten the victim. So pay close attention to the color and shape of the snake so that you can inform the medical personal.
Snake Bite First Aid - Things You Should Not Do
Do not try to pick up the snake or trap it. This could put you at risk for a bite.
Do not slash the bite wound with a knife.
Do not apply a tight bandage or tourniquet.
Do not suck out the venom (this can be dangerous to you and the bacteria in your mouth can infect the wound.
Do not immerse the wound in water or apply ice.
Do not drink alcohol as a pain reliever.
Do not drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages.

While waiting for emergency help to arrive, the victim should wash the wound site with soap and water, and then keep the injured area still and at a level lower than the heart. Ice should never be used on the wound site.
Get to a hospital/doctor asap but in the very likely-hood that a doctor is less than 30 minutes away you can suck the poison out. The wisest way to do this is to swill your mouth with oil (olive vegetable whatever's on hand) or a similar substance that will effectively coat your mouth so you don't get the venom in your own blood stream. After coating mouth suck poison out, spit it out then thoroughly rinse your mouth with water. BUT do not eat/drink anything until you see a medical professional!! The medical professional can take it from there as you have removed the immediate danger...
Oh the joys of first aid
Antivenom for that type of snake, they normally have some at hospital or zoo.
EDIT: The first contributor assumes the bite is from a venomous snake - giving anti-venin to someone who hasn't been bitten by a venomous snake will do more harm than good ! Treatment for any snake bite - If at all possible - identify the snake ! Sit (do not lie) the patient down. Immobilize the limb and apply a pressure bandage to the area of the bite. Seek medical advice as soon as possible.
use a belt or a piece of cloth and wrap it an inch to where you got the bite, to prevent it from spreading, do not apply ice or any of these urban 'first aids', call an ambulance or a doctor.
Answer:
If you are bitten by a venomous snake it is better to go to the hospital so they can give you anti venom.
If you are bitten by a non-venomous snake, clean the wound really good since they can carry bacteria.
Answer:
Unless you are absolutely sure the snake is known to be non-venomous ,go to the hospital. better be safe than sorry. If possible take a photo of the snake for a positive ID. Remember Time is tissue
If you don't know what kind of snake it was, kill or safely capture it for identification purposes. Call emergency services an ambulance. Seek proper medical attention. Place some ice in a bag and put it on the area you were bitten. Do not try to suck the poison out. That doesn't work.
In the USA, if you know it was a non-venomous snake, such as a racer, or garter, corn, milk, bull, king, indigo or pine snake, or a coachwhip, then wash the bite wound thoroughly with soap and water, scrubbing it well. Apply an antiseptic ointment, and bandage the wound. Apply an icebag to keep down any swelling or inflammation, and monitor the site. IF it starts to swell a lot, get very hot and reddened, or if streaks start appearing out of the immediate area, go to your doctor or an emergency clinic right away. The wound could be infected.

Take him/her to the vet (assuming you have not already done so) and make sure its just a sprain and not broken or something else. Then the vet can perscribe pain medication for the dog. If you have not already taken them to the vet then you should do that before anything else. Otherwise just keep kids away from them and try to keep their stress level low until they appear to be getting better.
Often dog bites are puncture wounds which are more likely to become infected and therefore should in most cases be looked at by a Veterinarian. They may irrigate the bite site as well as prescribe antibiotics to help prevent infection. Bite wounds often turn into absecces so you need to get your dog in as soon as possible to see your Veterinarian.
my German Shepard got in to a fight as dogs do , she didnt need stitches but had a pretty bad bite on her leg , i used good old savalon cream , worked really , well
If an animal bites another animal and they are the same kind of animal ( dog bites dog, cat bites cat, human bites human) the bite will abcess. You can try soaking the infected area with epsom salts and then applying antibiotic cream every day for a few weeks Or you can take your dog to the vet and get some antibiotics. The vet option is the best one because sometimes the animal can develop a fever and if you delay treatment, you risk losing the dog.
If possible, clip the hair around the wound, then flush the wound with warm water to remove any dirt. Then use a liquid first aid disinfectant such as Chlorhexidine or Povidone iodine. Then apply an antibiotic ointment, such as Neosporin or Bacitracin.
Wounds have the best chance of healing without complication if treated within 12 hours of the injury.
Despite initial home care, all bite wounds should be examined by a vet. Bite wounds, which may only appear as a small puncture wound in the skin, can actually be quite extensive. Once the tooth penetrates the skin, severe damage can occur to the underlying tissues without major skin damage. Antibiotics may be well be needed, and that's something you can't get without seeing a vet.
If you put a little bit of neosporin on the cut and then take it to the vet it should be fine. Be sure to make sure your dog doesn't have Allergies to a certain ingredient in the medicine.
Control any bleeding by following the appropriate steps. Avoid using a tourniquet unless there is severe bleeding that cannot be controlled any other way. Once the bleeding is controlled, clean the wound with soap and warm water. Do not be afraid to clean inside the wound. Be sure to rinse all the soap away, or it will cause irritation later. Cover the wound with a clean, dry dressing. You can put antibiotic ointment on the wound before covering. Watch for signs of infection: Redness Swelling Heat Weeping pus Always call a physician to determine if you should be seen. Some dog bites need antibiotics, particularly if they are deep puncture wounds. Additionally, many municipalities have regulations for reporting dog bites and monitoring the dogs, and that is often initiated by contact with a doctor. Any unidentified dog runs the risk of carrying rabies. If the dog cannot be identified and the owner cannot show proof of rabies vaccination, the victim must seek medical attention. Rabies is always fatal to humans if not treated. The wound may need stitches. If the edges of a laceration are unable to touch, or if there are any avulsions, the wound will need emergency medical attention. Wounds on the face or hands should be seen by a physician because of the likelihood of scarring and loss of function.
If you're bitten by a venomous snake: DO stay calm.
DO call 911 and seek medical attention immediately.
DO remove any jewelry or tight clothing from the bitten area/limb right away (you'll want it off before the wound and surrounding tissue starts swelling).
Do NOT cut the bite site, or create any kind of tourniquet around the wound.
Do NOT put ice on the bite.
Do NOT try to suck the venom from the wound.
Do NOT treat the site with rubbing alcohol or medication.
Do NOT wait for swelling, pain or other common symptoms to manifest themselves before going to the emergency room.

I would take them to your nearest vet, but if not possible, when my cat had a bite we simply washed and soaked it.
if you treated it well the sprain of the dog will heal for 3-4 weeks if you did not treated it well it could be months!
What you should do is that you tell your dog to calm down and tell your dog that they would get a treat if they behaved. If they do behave, then give your dog a treat of anything they'd like.
If the dog is mad after you give it a treat, you or someone else probelly did something to annoy it.( or you should try a different flavor of treats!)
To treat an ingrown whisker on a dog's face, use the same treatment as a person with an ingrown hair unless the dog has any medication sensitivity, then it is best to take the dog to a vet to be treated.
Stimulus
Rest and keeping calm. No drugs needed.
if you treated it well the sprain of the dog will heal for 3-4 weeks if you did not treated it well it could be months!
Yes, if the sprain did not result in a dislocation the tail will be fine eventually.
Perro loco!!
RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation
See your vet for proper treatment.
Very. I have not met one that is not.
If you treat your dog nicely then they will treat you!
They will inform you of the injury and wrap it giving you instructions on how to do it yourself. Then they will instruct you on how to treat your injury at home.
Dog Treat was created in 1924.

I've had a sprain before, and in my experience, I used Ice and tried to stay off my feet when I could.
