I am sorry for the late response to your question. After washing, did you disinfect the wound with betadine before applying the antibiotic treatment? Apply cold compress on the swollen area for 20 minutes then take it off for 20 minutes repeating the process several times. Put an E-collar on your dog to prevent her from licking the bite wound. Take her to the vet in the morning to check if she need medication for infection and swelling. Take care and good luck.
