Ouuuch!!!

Damn it all!!!
My streak as been broken!
In all my 8 years in the field of veterinary medicine, I have never received a bite that sent my to the urgent care.
Well, this weds was the day.
This ancient chow/lab mix was in to be put to sleep. She was known for being a little pissy and aggressive.
So we were placing her IV catheter (which went smooth-thank you very much) and following that we wanted to take her picture. We send out a magnet for some of our clients as a memento for their pet.
Any who, so in the process of taking off her muzzle for her picture and then trying to get it back on to check her bleeding catheter out, she chomped down -quite hard- on my right hand, index finger.
Yeah.....that was a doozie!!!
So here I am, bandaged up, on antibiotics, doing pretty well I might say.
At least it wasn't my face!!

So I see how it is...you put dogs to sleep after they bite you. (JK)

I hope you get well soon.
I used to train dogs for protection and got bit a few times outside of the suit's protection.
I reiterate. THAT BITES!!!
