But 4 fingers? And the kid just got up and walked around the next morning? Come on!!! The puppy would have chewed through arteries. The kid would have lost a LOT of blood. Don't you think the kid would have at least lost consciousness from blood loss? The entire bed would have been covered with blood - you'd think that he would have gotten cold from the wet bed long before morning, assuming he was conscious.
I never even thought of that, and I have to agree with you. There are lots of arteries in a hand. This is a child, a weak little child. He would be out for sure. The only way one wouldn't bleed or atleast not very much would be if he/she was in shock, which apparently wasn't the case here.

As for the anesthesia thing, when my mom had a cesarean section with me, I'm not sure what they did to her, but she could feel the entire thing. The was awake, and her body was numb, but she could still feel when they cut her open and stitched her back up. However, that was 16 years ago and so the methods have probably changed. 5 years ago when she had another C-section with my brother, she couldn't feel a thing and they stapled her up. She was sad that she didn't get to feel it, lol, she said it felt cool.

Anyways that got off topic.
