I got bit

[Sevaede]

My biological mother has two Doxies who bite bite bite. They are very mean and, needless to say, I don't trust them either. I, also, can't blame them. They live a terrible life where the biting is ENCOURAGED. It's all they know, behaviourally, so I can't get angry with them. I feel so bad for them. Yoda is one year and Biggles is five or six.

I saw Laurie's uncle throwing rocks at him... No wonder he bites people...

I'm glad you're OK and are being sensible and sympathetic with Bib. Poor little guy.

I got bit by my boss's dog about 3 months ago. Never had been bitten before so it was a shock and it hurt like heck - had to go to the emergency room. Glad your hand is okay (albiet bite marks).

Sounds like Bib's Uncle is an a$$.

One of my German Shepherds attacked me,I had gotten him from a breeder that was retiring out of breeding i have kennels that each dog go in individually,anyways i went to go put a colar on him to see how he walked,he had problems with his hein end.And i did not want to see him put down that is what the previous owner was going to do i thought i could maybe get him treatment anyways back to my story i went in pet and was talking to him and my other dog he was an old GSD walked by and the new one lunged to get at him,I stood up to block him he tore my shoulder and side open,I had to get stiches and after that surgery.
I kept him and tried to work with him but he was getting worse he bit me 2 times after that 1 my elbow then he grabbed hold of my wrist.I tried i really did i had trainers come in everything and nothing he tried to attack the trainer.He was a 8 year old with hip problems,Vicious i had done everything i could so my next step was have him put to sleep,The morning of his appointment i went out to spend some time with him i found him dead,I had taken him to vets and i was told he was great health wise so im thinking he had a stroke or something.He was such a beautiful looking dog i went through alot with him the time i had him...Im glad you are ok you should still go to the docs and have it looked at you can get bad infections from dog bites!!!TC hun

So sorry that you got bit!!! I hope you are feeling alright. I was bit by a dog when I was 3, but thankfully that was the last time.

Sorry to hear. I'm glad you aren't mad at him. You'll build your trust up in time.

Maybe you should suggest having the dog muzzled if hes outside and snaps? I mean just incase he bites the wrong person, I've recently seen a dog VERY close to being destroyed becuase she bit the wrong person and its heartbreaking.

I know you can relate to the dog being ill treated but say if he bit someone outside who doesn't see from your point of view? It could cause alot of trouble ..

I hope your hand gets better, Its really not nice being bitten, I find it knocks your confidence with dogs for a short while .. Maybe you should get it looked at if its not better by the end of the week, You might need medicines if its infected .

I don't think it is infected, it is doing well and I have been putting antibiotics on it and hydrogen poroxide. He does have a muzzle but I don't think they use it much
