Money's good enough for your internet connection. But not for your dog's injuries.
If the puncture wound is more than 1/4 inch deep you need a vet
If not use soap and water and clean the wounds. 2-3 times a day use alcohol free witch hazel, normal saline solution, or colloidal silver to flush the wounds then put antibiotic ointment on. Do not try to close them they need to drain.
No amoxicillin without at least SPEAKING to a vet over the phone that's free.
