| 4doggiemama | 04-01-2008 01:35 PM | My 82 yr. old mother was bitten by a blue heeler that didn't have rabies shots.:eek: :eek: :eek: She lives in MS so I feel soooooo far away. At least I have 3 sisters and 1 brother living there. The dog took a chunk out of the back of her leg; had to have 14 stitches and tons of meds. She had gotten stuck in all the mud they have down there and walked onto a yard where the family was even outside watching her come up to the house. She said she was just standing there talking to the family and he bit her.:confused: Guess the dog is now quarantined for 10 days to see if Mom has to go through the rabies series. Actually, I am surprised that the county is doing anything. The county they live in has an ex-con as a sheriff who's afraid to even set foot outside his home at night.:eek: Everything is run in a hap-hazardous way in all the government departments.:eek: My entire family belongs to a very conservative religious group that won't have anything to do with going to law-enforcement for help. Just glad the docs are pursuing the right procedures. |
