Salt water? Not heard of that one. Did it sting? (rhetorical question) Elke was bitten once by a possum, in the leg. We cleaned the wound with warm water and anti-bacterial soap, and then rinsed well. We applied Neosporin, which is an anti-biotic ointment, to the wound, applied sterile gauze, and wrapped some masking tape around the gauze. We changed the dressing twice a day for a few days until we noted the skin had healed. Of course, we took her to the vet once we had the wound initally dressed.

A bite to the foot that puncured both sides, may be more difficult to keep covered. They do make socks or booties for dogs, to keep a clean dressing in place on the foot, but finding them is not easy. We've used baby socks as well.

Keep an eye on it and keep it clean.
