Dog Bite!
#1
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.
