Keep the wounds clean and watch for any development of infection. You can put some antibiotic ointment on them to hopefully prevent infection from happening. Signs would be swelling, redness, pus, hot to touch etc. In that case antibiotics might be necessary. Be sure the cousins are up to date on their tetanus shots. Since the puppy is vaccinated, there should be no need to worry about rabies. Hope this helps
