Its hard to judge bites like that, as they would be bited "perfectly", all 4 canines dont go in perfectly and by the same lenght in these kind of fights, sometimes just 1 or 2 canines pierce the skin, depending on grip, bite angle, bite position etc.

That largest wound also look a bit infected with worms or something, so its now prob bigger then it was initially.

As for condition, idk, we still dont have any context what happened, they definetly didnt eat in a while based of completley empty bellies. Reply
