I got bitten trying to break up a fight =(

[.sarah]

Thanks everyone. My arm is still really swollen and sore, but I'm using it anyway.

the dogs are all ok, right?

Mandy has a puncture wound, but we have her on antibiotics. Other than that everyone is fine.

OK, not to scare you but I was "accidently" bitten on the arm a few weeks ago when my ThunderMutt FREAKED during a thunder clap while I was holding him (how ironic "Thunder" ) Long story short, within 24 hrs my arm was terribly infected although the small bites weren't really bad and I ended up in the hospital with intravenious antibotics being pumped into my body. I had a 24 hr stay and he too had to be under "house arrest" for 10 days. That part was no big deal but watch the bites closely. No crap... the smallest little thing can turn ugly

Yeah, we looked up how to clean my wounds on the internet in the mean time until we could get to the doctor this morning. The doctor said we did everything she was going to do at her office. All she had to do was fit me for a sling and prescribe antibiotics.

Sara, you need to stop being jealous of me and my dog bite injury. I know you wanted to type with one hand so badly.

You know I'm joking. Believe me, I feel your pain and frustration. I'm so so sorry about your traumatic experience and that your vacation has been messed up. Even the slightest puncture wound can turn into a mess. RB Cody once gave me a beautiful puncture wound on my finger when he grabbed a ball at the same time I was throwing it. I ignored it, except for washing it out, but it turned into a massive case of blood poisoning. I'm glad you went to the doctor. Sorry about the house arrest. I know everyone feels awful. Try and enjoy some vacation as best as you can. Hold that arm upward, don't forget!

LOL. I confess, I wanted to be just like you!

My arm's not very swollen anymore. Still sore, but I'm able to use it. I've been taking pictures, and my lens on my camera is really heavy, so I was afraid I wouldn't be able to use it for a while. I can't go very long without my camera

Sorry to hear this Sarah

I'm so sorry about the bite. I was bit by Logan but since he was my cat and I could vouch that he was up on his shots, I didn't have to have him put down.

My bite also got infected despite going to the hospital within the hour of being bit. I hope your heals quickly. I know how much it hurts.

Sorry your vacation will be short because of it.
