I just finished reading this thread. I am no animal whisperer, but I do have some insights along those lines---------sometimes. Anyhow, your baby was severely injured-her psyche if not physically. I am thinking she was yelled at very loudly whilst being shaken-shaken baby syndrome causes some of the symptoms you describle..red eyes, petechia (tiny red pinpoint rash-like lesions) and of course that terrified response. Also, I am thinking some solution from a spray bottle-cleaning solutions or similar, were used.
I have been a victim of abuse and have counselled abused kids and adults and this is one example of abuse. IMO Why am I telling you all this? AND, REMEMBER I DO NOT KNOW YOU OR YOUR BF OR DOG, animal abuse very quickly progresses into spouse/children abuse. I am so sorry to hear about your baby but you might have just been saved from more than you can know.
Swoop that youngun up and give her hugs and smoochies til the hurt is better-for both of you.
If I have offended you or any poster on this forum, I would like to apologize, but in all honesty, I don't think I can. This is serious business and hopefully the cycle is broken..Bless you.
PM me if you would like or tell me to butt out, but there are a lot of us out there who want to protect others from this treatment.. |
