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) [Posted in FML issue 1590]
