Mr. Biggles is being put to sleep tomorrow

Lori - what options would you recommend?

Biggles is not allowed to be rehomed. NOT. By the shelter.

And it seems Jess was misled about the reason the dogs were returned. She stressed no aggression - which is necessary because Jess and Chad have their own things to deal with.

And the shelter lied.

I hope Chad saw a doctor for his wound and is up on his tetanus shots.

Many pets here live in far from perfect homes, so let's not start pointing fingers, ok?

I have been on meds thru my life, Lori - and will be for the rest. It is for clinical depression. It is when conditions like this are NOT treated that trouble happens - and Jess is getting help, as is Chad.

I think they could have dogs again - but no more "returned" dogs.

Chad is scared to death of Dr.s after he faught for his life with the flesheatting in his arm & went through Chemo. Hes a really sensitive guy when it comes to harm to his body(hes a very clean guy). He knows if the wound gets infected he will go to the ER, but I have to go with him kicking & screaming (not litterly but you get the point).

I'm treating his wound with peroxid & polysporn. Cause it was bleeding & that needed to be taken care of first, we could have exposed him to extra bacteria by adding a cloth & an ice pack to help stop the bleeding...

The second I see him after work, I'll be looking it over again. If it looks worse then last night (esp the swelling) then I'll take him to the ER cause it could be the flesheatting starting under his skin again.

I really feel sorry for Mr. Biggles...I realize that points made that you can't rehome him, etc, etc, but it doesn't seem like you tried any kind of behavior modification with him, or talked to your vet (which I see people mentioning, yet I haven't her King2005 say anything about- but maybe the story will change later).

I don't see why Chad owns dogs if he will die from a dog bite- that doesn't make sense. It also doesn't make sense that you chose to hide the first bite from him if he could die over it...if that's the case, YOU were putting his life at risk then. And, now that it has become more serious Mr. Biggles is the one to suffer.
