Dog Bite!

[ramseycat]

Two weeks ago Scoobie bit me on the left forearm when I was putting Jethro's bone in his crate. Scoobie apparently wanted that bone. That is the only time he gets nasty is when there is a bone involved. Anyway, didn't seem like much and then last week I have this good sized lump on my outer forearm. Tender to the touch but I thought it was just a deep contusion from the bite. His teeth didn't really break the skin. I wake up yesterday and my left elbow is killing me. All day it hurt and I couldn't figure out what the hell was wrong with it since I didn't bang it or anything. Today it's red and swollen and warm to the touch. I had one of the nurses here look at it and she said it's celluitis. Go to the doctor. Just got back from the doctor and yep it's cellulitis and I got a script for antibiotics.

Moral of the story is......better watch out for those dog bites. Even if they don't break the skin you can get an infection.

And, even if you don't drink it, brushing your teeth in Mexico using their tap water is equally as dangerous.

I've heard that OBK.

Your dog should never bite you, not even over a bone. I hope Scooby is a pomeranian and not a large breed. It was nice to hear you finally got what you deserved, however.

He is a chow/lab mix. I would let Jethro bite you if you came over. He is a Rottie.

Id kill that dog if he ever bit me and he were mine. Fuck that. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

If Ramsey just knew how to give a decent blow job, none of this would be an issue.

It's all George Bush's fault.
