Question
What to do for dog bitten by coyote, several times.

Answer
Leah -

Have your dog examined by a veterinarian as soon as  possible. Even minor bites can become severely infected and may cause death. You should not wait to see how the bites will affect your dog.  It is better to be proactive and treat the wounds before they progress to severe infections.
