Poor KK gets bit by a dog




Poor KK, we are staying at our friends house in San Jose. They have one of those border collie dogs. His name is Lobo. He is very territorial. He is nine years old. We have stayed here at our friends house on multiple occasions. He has always been a dog you wanted to be leery about. Well tonight poor KK was walking into the kitchen and the dog bit her. He bit her right hand/wrist. He made six puncture wounds. The worst were on her wrist. She has never been in so much pain in her life. She was inconsolable for quite a long period of time. We gave her ibuprofen and took her to the emergency room. I was worried she may have torn a muscle or tendon because she kept grabbing her forearm when she would bend her hand and was crying in pain.

We got to the ER shortly after 9. It was a full room so I thought for sure we would be there till 1 a.m. Lucky for us we were done shortly after 10:30 p.m. Looks like she is fine. It was good we went in the ER because they said anytime a dog draws blood you should always get on antibiotics. We also have a wrap on her wounds and will have to clean them twice daily. We have to go in for a recheck with our DR. on Monday.

KK is sleeping now. She is a bit shaken and will probably be scared of dogs for awhile.
