Abbey left me a forever memory. When she had her Grand Mal seizure I had
tried to put honey on her gums with a syringe but I was unable to so I used
my finger, NOT a good idea. Her teeth were gnashing and she got me, clear
to the bone. Bless her heart. I cringed as I felt the teeth grind on bone
but didn't jerk. I finally got my other fingers in her mouth and gently
pried her mouth open (remember she was seizing and had no control) then I
had to open her mouth wide enough to get her fangs out of my finger. Well,
the wound was a straight in and out but she cut through my nerves in the top
of the finger next to my thumb on my right hand. I have no feeling at all
in the very tip of that finger. I do have below the tooth mark, thankfully.
Problem I find is I use that finger to stir their food with after heating it
and now I can't feel anything. So I have to use other fingers. My finger
is fine, the teeth went in and out, no tears since I didn't jerk. Next time
I'll use a q-tip. (maybe) ;-)
As my vet said I suffered an ignosecond. The moment before you realize you
shouldn't have done something. :-)
Spiccup will have adrenal surgery Tuesday, June 4. Please think positive
thoughts for her.
Hugs to all. tle (aka Sprite)
