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

[ChrisH]

Anna, . I have only been bitten once and by my sweet Bobby at that. It was nowhere near as badly as you but I remember the shock that my boy could do that to me, understandable or no. Even though it was a long time ago a part of my trust in him was lost that day never to be regained.

Hoping you heal well in all ways.

Oh Anna. I'm so very sorry. I know it made you miss Angus more when thinking how he never bit you. It's impossible to know just what to do in these situations. I probably would have done the same because it's hard to just watch that and you were worried about Huney. I hope your leg heals without getting worse. Try not to be so nervous. I know that's hard but dogs can sense that. I understand it did take away some security of your relationship with Bon. Maybe continue to feed him in his crate for a while? Also, maybe contact Nancy, the pet psychic? I hope my rambling has helped you a little.

I am so sorry that this happened to you, Anna.

Anna,
You know Bon didn't do it on purpose, you know that fighting doggies pay absolutely no attention to the human in the middle, and you know Bon loves you.

Having said that, I hope your leg gets better soon. Perhaps feeding them seperately for awhile will help, and I know that even tho I only have two, if one doesn't eat, when they feel like eating I lock the other one in with me, and put the food back out.
I know you know all this, and I think that you should not stop feeding them raw.

Now, I am taking this thread to a lighter place - for Chris and Anna - Bon and Bob bit you??????? If you want to rehome them, send them to me
(althought I might have to fight Edwina's Secretary for Bob and KayAnn for Bon ..... )

Get well soon Anna.

At the shelter I volunteer at they always have air horns handy in case when there are dog to dog intros they go badly. I bought one because there are times when casey attacks bubba, no bloodshed but it is scary and I am afraid I will get bit breaking it up.

You can buy one at a sporting goods store and keep it handy, lets face it you cannot separate them 24/7. I hope this was a one time incident, I definetely agree with the feeding separate idea.

Edit to add, I am so sorry about your leg, sorry but it looks just gross

[joycenalex]

wow that's one impressive bruise. and the paw print shorts are really cute. phreds' idea about NILF is good, as are some of the others' idea about seperate feeding areas. i don't think that raw food and raw feeding is more dangerous then kibble, to a dog, food is food and it could have happened over any type of food. i am so sorry that this has happened.

Anna I'm so sorry that this happened to you. That looks REALLY painful, ouch! I've been bitten a few times at work but nothing like that. Please get feeling better soon. And know that we still love Bon, he's a sweet boy, any dog could bite somebody in the middle of a dog fight. Nebo is food aggressive with dogs, I know he would never bite a human over food, but it could easily happen if I was trying to break something up.

Hope you get better soon Anna. Thinking of you mate. Give your pups a hug, it always makes me feel better.
