I Had A BAD day at work, got bit by a dog & ended up at the ER ***UPDATES**

Yikes, that looks nasty, girl! It looks like an alien is ready to pop outa there! Call your dr. and start another round of the antibiotic ASAP!

Ok, so a HUGE gob of Watkins salve overnight and cleaning good with peroxide in the morning then only a plain gauze during the day seems to do wonders.

Best I can tell is the dying skin around the bite was causing the infection and the splint the dr. wanted me to wear was keeping the air circulation down and keeping the infection in. So no more splint!

Good work - it just needed to breathe and dry up!

Ain't peroxide GREAT?

I hope it heals even faster now.

Ok, it's looking better. The last pic was something else!
