You could expect to recover the reasonable cost of your medical bills, plus some nebulous amount for "pain and suffering". You would have to make a showing with respect to what happened between your dog and the other dog, in order to avoid a defense that you were "harassing" the other dog.
As far as your dog's vet bills, recent case law suggests that recovery for your dog's injuries would be limited to the amount you spent to make your dog better, if your dog was injured by another dog.
Feel free if you want to talk more about this.
