Bon bit me (not feeling so blue any more!)

[Lori Jordan]

I too think that rehoming him is not necesarry.I have to seperate my guys every meal.Some cannot eat together it happens,No reason to go that far as too rehoming.It is unfortunate that Anna got hurt,I myself have gotten bit.

It is hard when you have 2 dogs that do not get along(Molly&Lacy) I have thought of rehoming Molly,But i was put in my place and im glad i could have done something foolish,And now i am a firm believer that a dog is your responsibilty until they pass on to a better place.

I would understand if Bon walked around and bit everyone in site,That is not the case,He is a lovable little man,I do not know him personally but the way Anna talks about him ,He is a lovable dog.

As the vet said to me "It was your fault you got bit" I startled them when infact i should of just let them go.

How is your leg Anna?Did they give you any pain medication to help with the pain?

Holy crap! I have never seen a dog bite quite like that one! Here I was wimpering over a cat bite... I'd be afraid to lose my leg with a bite like that one!

Poor you and poor Bon! He probably doesn't even realize that he hurt you that badly! Hope that the Vicodin kick in a little bit (the docs gave me Darvocet for the cat bite, that was a joke!), and that the antibiotics do their job! Rest up and make sure you take good care of that leg!

Ohhhh goodness goodness!!! I'm SO sorry Anna. I'm sure Bon was just biting at whatever was restraining him, and he would *not* have bitten you had he been a little calmer and clearer-headed. I can relate to you, though. Lucky is also food/toy aggressive and he has broken skin several times. Granted, he's very small so the damage is very minimal.

Just a thought. If this situation should ever arise again, do you think a can of Direct Stop or something similar could break up an imminent dog fight? I've seen several threads on another board that questioned what people used to prevent/stop dog fights and I've seen answers ranging from mace to Direct Stop to sticks to chairs. Who knows? This might become invaluable information later on.
