Dog Bite

[rockinghorse]

Daughter walked our labrador last Thursday on lead, Lady came in the opposite direction with Spaniel also on lead. Spaniel decided to take a lump out of my labradors back. Daughter running home with dog in tears (daughter not dog). At first because of the dogs thick coat I thought it was more like a flap of skin but taking her to vets & having been shaved she has a serious 1 inch wound almost 8cm deep. Vets wouldn't stitch immediately so I have to syringe the wound out 6 times a day with Hibiscrub & insert a gel to improve tissue, shes on AB. She is an absolute lemon drop and the owner of the spaniel in the village said she was very upset that her dog had done this, turns out she did not buy the dog as a puppy & has no history of its temperment but did admit that it attacked her sister's dog 3 weeks ago. Why did she not control the b***** thing on a lead. Rant over.

It sounds as though she was not being blatently ignorant...but does sound like she should keep a close eye on the dog...esp if she knew it had bitten before.

Im at work tonight and there is a little 3 legged spaniel in...that has been literally de-glooved by 2 rotties

It is appauling.....she looks as though someone has skinned her alive

she is now stitched up to with an inch of her life and resembles a k9 Frankeinstein

, your dog got away lightly.
I hope he recoveres well

What a horrible shame!!! A muzzle would allow her to exercise her dog off the lead and not cause a danger to other dogs. Many people worry at the thought of a muzzled dog, but really it's the safest dog around! Hope your lab recovers quickly.

Been back to vets & still won't stitch as wound too deep & fear of infection, looks better & poor animal sees jug of hibscrub & cowers but lets me do everything. OH rather crool though as he feeds AB direct into mouth & I disguise with cheese!
