If the skin is not brOKen then you really don't have much to worry about wash it off with warm water and soap and it will be ok.

A bruise happens when blood has leaked out into the tissues. The blood will soon resorb ('dissolve') on its own and the bruise will disappear 100% - just give it time.

when a bug bites you it injects a bit of its saliva and sometimes poison into your skin which causes itchyness so when you scratch any itch it feels better but try not to, it will keep the wound from healing because itching also means its healing and if you keep any wound open it is vulnerable to bacterias and infection.

=I am a dog lover too.  If you have wounds that won't heal it could mean serious trouble like diabetes so I would get tested as soon as possible by a Doctor or a clinic or the VNA.  Diabetes is a serious condition which could result in loss of limbs and eyesight for example.  I do not man to scare you but if This is the case the sooner th better you need to get on some medication.  Best wishes

It depends on what actually happened.  Was the dog really harmless or did the person have a credible threat of great bodily harm or death?  You should contact your local law enforcement, have them take a report.  Allow them to follow up with witnesses.  When the report is reviewed by the District Attorney's office they will decide whether to press charges against the "suspect" and begin legal proceedings.\n\nYou can make a civil claim and sue him for the value of the dog.  They will not give any monetary compensation for your pain and suffering surrounding the loss of your dog.  Sorry

It certainly sounds like a bruise.\n\nFYI, not all bruises hurt.  When you hit something, and get a bruise from it, the pain comes from hitting something, not necessarily from the blood that creates the bruise.\n\nFor example, my daughter had her ACL replaced in her knee about a year-and-a-half ago.  She didn't like the way the prescribed vicadin made her feel, so she asked the doctor if it would be okay for her to just take the ibuprofen that she had previously been prescribed.  He said okay, so she discontinued the vicadin.  However, she ended up taking too much of it, which essentially caused some internal bleeding, and she ended up with a giant bruise on her ankle.  The doctor gave her a new prescription, for something else that didn't make her feel funny, and the bruise went away in just a couple of days.

Sounds to me like a Brown Recluse Spider bite. Not something to play around with. Usually the skin will rot away around the bite. Keep an eye on it and if you are really concerned check back with your doctor. keep in mind if you didn't see what bit you then it may not have been a spider at all. Perhaps a snake especially with 2 marks. \n\nGood luck!!

If it hurts it is not dead. You probably have a bad blood clot in it. Go to the doctor and get it lanced to releave the pressure.

let your dog lick it ...dog saliva helps all sores , cuts.

If they smelled blood from a cut, maybe. But most likely not since they are looking for weakened animals. Saw this on a nature show, the host jumped in the water and swam around fine. Nothing happened, and said it was a common misconception.

Don't know. But get animal control to capture it. Don't wait until one of your animals is hurt or a child.

Most probably an ulcer. see a doc straight away cause this is serious. blood transfer may be needed. all internal bleeding is very serious. do it NOW. not in the morning or after work, go right NOW.

Dogs have special enzymes in their saliva that can speed the process, however veterinary medicine is quicker, and safer for a wound. If you were out in the woods and had only your bottled water and your dog's spit, then sure let him lick away, however in todays age there are antibiotic creams and medications that will help a sore heal quickly, cleanly and safely. \n\nAlso, some dogs tend to lick a sore raw (something they do when the area is extremly sore or aggravated, or they are bored.) It's best to bandage off a sore or use those sad cone things on your dog to make sure they don't make their little boo-boo into a big infected wound.

The question is one of negligence.  You owe a duty of reasonable care.  So, you have to examine whether it was reasonable of you not to protect the person from your dog.  In your favor would be the fact that you kept the dog on your own property and that the dog had never shown vicious tendencies before.  Working against you might be that you let your dog run loose knowing people often crossed your property and that you knew the dog had bitten other people before.\n\nI don't know the facts of your case and I don't know what the weight of the evidence will show.  But if you acted reasonably, you shouldn't have any fear for your dog.\n\nWARNING:  You now KNOW that your dog will bite people.  So you now have a greater duty to keep people safe from your dog than you did before.

Auto's response is correct.  You can certainly sue; you just might have a hard time collecting a judgment if they have no insurance or money.  \n\nHere in Indiana, we have a strange modified "first bite is free rule."  The owners are typically not "negligent" in keeping a "dangerous" animal unless they know that is has "dangerous tendancies," which they would not, unless it has already bitten someone else.  This doesn't seem fair, I realize.  However, I don't think that you would have any problem getting around this, as the dog was running loose, and they were certainly negligent in letting it do so.  \n\nIf you're in Indy, shoot me an email and we can exchange numbers.  I'd be happy to give you some (brief) free advice.

Don't let anyone hit or hurt you, don't fall, don't use scissors, nail clippers, etc.\n\nif at all possible, go into a giant bubble and become blood proof.\nmake sure your nails are clipped so they don't break and bleed. stay out of cold weather so u have no nose bleeds. cut your animal's nails, don't let them bite you. stay away from paper so you don't get paper cuts, card board cuts or plastic cuts.\n\n\nso technically, what I'm trying to say is that that is physically impossible but good luck anyway. just be more careful and don't wear flip-flops because you could skim your toe on the ground.\n\nLuv Ya,\nTAY
