I was bitten by a dog on Sunday. A little Jack Russell.

 

Thought it was just a scratch until itstarted bleeding whilst I was driving home, I'd just popped into that store at coxford corner near the old is building.

 

Starting to feel sore, a little swollen and looks like it's bruised.

 

I am a dog lover but I realise now that I should have reported it to the police. Am I too late.

No. Needs reporting. My son was bitten by a dog a few years ago. Reported it (I got the registration number of the owners' car) and the police phoned back a couple of days later to say they had paid them a visit and issued a formal warning.

Dogs shouldn't be in shops, it's against the law.

You can sue everybody concerned if the dog was actually in the shop, the owner of the dog and the owner of the shop.

Seriously get yourself along to the Shirley walk in centre, and up to you if you report the dog. I love dogs, but next time it could be a child that gets attacked by it.

 

It closed "temporarily" so that the staff could help with the flu non-epidemic a couple of years ago.

 

It was a very useful place which is probably why they closed it. Took a lot of load off the local GPs.

I never usually post on here, but get yourself to the docs immediately. Nearly lost my girlfriend to a dog bite a few years ago. Seemed innocuous at first, but after 24 hours developed into chronic septicaemia and had her in hospital for a week very, very seriously ill.

 

Sorry if it seems dramatic or alarmist, but experience proves it's worth erring on the side of caution.

Seriously , you need antibiotics and a tetanus booster. All dog bites need to be treated seriously - a dogs mouth is full of foulness. Sorry not a funny or witty post but please go and see your doc or go to a/e

 

I got bitten by a cat a year ago, did nothing about it and my hand swelled up like a grapefruit. Took two courses of antibiotics to cure it. Just fyi according to doc, in terms of nasties in the mouth, human bites are worse than either dog or cat bites.

Yep he should take them to the cleaners, hate dogs and the irresponsible idiots who let them aggress innocent passers by.

If you just kicked his dog he'd have up up in front of the beak right? so take him for every penny he's got.

Dogs are the bane of the earth.

So are window cleaners, especially dumb ones, imo.
