I Got Bit By A Dog!

[My Peanuts]

Oh and Morty bite my hand a few months ago. He bit through the tough part and it hurt like heck! No stitches, but that little guy got me good. He bit my mom too. We think it was because he was still adjusting to us and because my live in cousin went away from school. They used to spend a lot of time together and I could tell he missed her. Morty hasn't bit anyone since then, but we are still careful with him.

Oh man, that sounds awful!

I was bitten numerous times while I worked at a vet, but nothing to require trips to the doctor. The worst bite I've ever had was from an old, crotchety, aggressive Labrador. I had to give her pills and she did not appreciate it! My hand was torn up, but I was already on antibiotics and so I didn't want to go to the doctor. I just kept a close eye on it.

I've been bitten more by little dogs than by big dogs, but the little dogs hardly broke my skin if even. I've been bitten mostly by cats ... probably 4x as many cats as I have dogs. Lots of cats just are not friendly when they're caged at a vet.

i vaguely remember being bit on the nose by a neighbor's dog when I was around 6 y.o. I think I was overpetting him and didn't of course know that his gutteral growl meant "enough" so he snapped and punctured my nose.
When Cody was growing, I was accidently bitten 2x, both times only because he was way faster than me at grabbing for his tennis balls. Both times I didn't take very good care, and developed blood poisoning and had finger splints and a sling.
Logan is very vocal and will warn when she's upset and will show her teeth, but has never bitten.

Oh my word

my mom was bit by Kirby once. but luckily it wasnt very bad. she had a puncher on her finger tip and it bruised her finger nail.

so far none of the rest of us have been bit. *knocks on wood*
and all paws and fingers crossed that you continue to heal without any infection.

sorry you got bit I hope you get better soon

I've only been bit by my own dogs but they were playful bites so not the same.

Ouch!! I hope your hand gets feeling better! Fenway will be glad to see you.

I've been bitten by dogs a few times at work. Nothing more than scraping the skin and a little blood though, no puncture wounds. All by small dogs except the large dog that bit me in the face, and I have to say that really shook me up (even though it was not a bad bite). The worst bite I had was by a cat recently.....oh my gosh that hurt so bad I felt like I was going to pass out, it was a deep bite, but just on my finger luckily.

I've been bit a couple of times, mostly cats and birds than dogs, but the 2 of the bites I do remember were by my dogs and 1 by a dog we were dogsitting.

When I was 7 I was attacked by our pit bull(honestly I don't even remember it) but I had my nose pretty much ripped off and all I have to show for it now is a small scar beside my nose. But, from what I remember I was sitting on a bed staring into the dog's eyes and he bit me from what I was told I was outside messing with his food bowl while he was eating. Either way my parents weren't home and I was being baby-sat. The weird thing is the only thing I really remember is lieing on my neighbor's table and my neighbor's daughter was staring at me and saying Hi Megan. This dog was horribly abused before we got him, once he actually chased his old owners onto a car trying to get at them.

Then when I was 11 my RB Simon, a german shepherd, bit me when I was trying to grab him from fighting a foster dog we had. She was trying to play with him and he didn't want to so I went to grab his collar and he bit me. I think he thought I was the dog. But, he immediatly was sorry he layed down when I started crying and looked extremely guilty! He bit right through my thumb nail though, OUCH... he was forgiven quickly by me though, it was an accident. I know better than to try and stop a dog fight that way now.

Then I don't know how old but we were watching the neighbor's min poodle and I was on my knees petting him and I still have no clue how but he caught me off balanced pushed me on the ground and bit my hand. He's a grouchy old thing, because his owners spoil him, he's nicer now that he's older though.

I've never been bitten by a dog,but i've ben snapped at a few times.My kids have 'playful' bites though,not hard at all. I've only been bitten by cats and those hurt

[k9krazee]

OUCH! Hope you're feeling better!!!

Jack actually bit me the other day But we were wrestling and we got a bit carried away...he bit my arm and left a big ol' bruise! It hurt!

But other than him, and other playing dogs, I haven't been bit!

Owy! Bites do hurt, a lot. I hope you feel better soon.

I've been bitten a few times, the worst was from a very scared cat who bit my hand. It hurt for a couple days.
