Leo got bit by another dog :/

It was a chihuahua around residential Dana Point. He’s in good spirits considering what happened. The other dog dug it’s teeth into his back, and although he didn’t break skin, he crushed the meat and left a swollen bruise, so he cries when you apply light pressure on his back, and he trembles when you pet him. His lower left back area is swollen and he’s not in the mood to cuddle, but he does still run around and play.

I haven’t taken him to the doctor but since he’s worse than he was yesterday, I think I’ll take him later today.

I’m really sad and I feel his pain every time he trembles. He’s such a playful dog that the contrast of his sadness is heartbreaking. He even avoids me petting him, even behind his ears because he’s afraid I’ll touch his back.

I wasn’t with him when it happened; He was walking with my mom and grandmother. I don’t know who the owner is but the dog was very violent and barely let go of Leo when my mom pulled him up by his leash.

I took this picture last week before the incident.
I’m hoping for the best. If his condition doesn’t improve, I’ll shave him and look at the bruise and take him to the vet.
