She went to the hospital and unbeknowest to myself she said the dog bit her. The vet was thier and said it was an accident but the hospital wants to quaratine my dog for 10 days. They said the reason was to make sure he doesn't have rabies. My dog is a house dog only goes outside to play has no aggression at all he plays will my 3 year old son.

Regardless of what actually happened, the sue you'd probably need thousands or tens of thousands of dollars to get a lawyer. Ignoring how long it might take for a lawyer to draft and file papers, you'd then have to wait for a hearing. There is a good chance that you'd spend more than 10 days waiting for that, so by the time the court heard it, win or lose, the court would have nothing left to do. You can't sue for what they might do to someone else.

Your best chouce is to wait the ten days and make a complaint against the vet with the state.

Yes, you can get an emergency injunction. Make sure you collect some funds from all of the other pet owners that want redemption, because it will cost upwards of $ 7500. Indignation costs. Good luck.
