She can always remarry. But a good dog is hard to find.

I know women who would feed that dog steak for the rest of it's life.

FredaDeStilleto: She can always remarry. But a good dog is hard to find.

Exactly. The old husband was weak and useless anyway if a little wound killed him like that. Good riddance.

At least the dog won't have to live with knowing that it caused his death. It certainly wasn't intentional.

He looks like he was already feeble.

He died from an infection due to his refusal to seek medical treatment.

Of course it was the dog who dissuaded him from seeking help with its persuasive arguments of "arf arf".

Hope she does keep the dog.

It must be put down now that it has tasted sweet, sweet human flesh.

I'd hate to hear that dog's bark.

Bacteria will get you eventually. Blind dogs can help.

Stupid? Yes, subby is stupid.

Schadenfreude ist die schoenste Freude: He died from an infection due to his refusal to seek medical treatment.

Our late beagle bit our son out of the blue one day. The dog had been good with our son before that but in the months before we noticed age quickly creeping up on him as he started bumping into things and occasionally had a confused look (aside from his normal confused look). Certainly not something to put him to sleep over.

It was a quick nip but it broke the skin. We cleaned it and put our son to bed but the next morning his hand was all inflamed. We took him to the pediatrician and he had a nasty infection that took some super strong antibiotics to clear (its been 6 or 7 years and I don't recall what we used).

As to the dog, we did put him to sleep about 4 months later by which time he was blind and becoming incontinent.

{sarcasm}But we shouldn't let "facts" get in the way of understanding that THIS IS DANGEROUS ANIMAL AND IT MUST BE KILLED IMMEDIATELY.{/sarcasm}

Once back in their holiday cottage, the Sewells searched for antiseptic but could not find any.

They used a sticking plaster to cover the wound.

But six days later, they became increasingly worried as Mr Sewell complained of feeling hot and experiencing 'strange dreams'.

I think the lesson here is obvious. If your nice dog accidentally nips you, forgive him, but don't overlook the fact that he was probably noshing out of the litter box a few minutes earlier.

It was a death poodle, we have them because of the NHS

When an animal bites you, you're supposed to scrub that wound out thoroughly. And really keep an eye on it. If an animal bit me to the bone, you can believe I'd go to a medical professional.

I know somebody who got a bone infection from being bitten by their cat. Also my friend who worked at a veterinary clinic said they keep antibiotics on hand for the staff in case of being bitten by a patient. (Maybe not technically legal but hey they're working under veterinarians).

\dear departed cat scratched and bit me pretty good on the leg when I tried to stop her from beating up another cat
\\I scrubbed that little puncture wound until it bled, no infection
\\\years later the puncture is gone but the scratch scar is still there

I hear that in the States, we're getting death spaniels.

Who hasn't been bitten by a dog during a game of feltch?

/obligatory
//bad dog, no Snausages for you tonight

Uh...the dog was half blind, it was an accident, and it was blood poisoning.

In other words, the dog didn't mistake his throat for a chew-toy.

Why in the hell should anyone put this dog down? That is ridiculous. They might consider some dentistry, however.

Old guy was a dumbass. He didn't find disinfectant? I'll bet there was booze, or perfume, or mouthwash, ect. somewhere in that house.

Wow, so now we can blatently lie in order to get a greenlight.
