Dog attack

[SAISAY]

Can I just suggest ... Boxers aren't all that big/heavy dog-wise ... we have Alaskan Malamutes ... I wouldn't advise trying to wrestle them too much.

I also don't know about the feet, but squeezing the balls may get them to let go.

As a vet nurse, I happened to be around all sizes of dogs and it worked on all of them. I agree that we also spread the legs apart so it was impossible for the dog to twist his back around and bite.
As another comment, bitches don't have balls and they can fight too.

Didn't Kipling have something to say about the female of the species? Perhaps that was bears .

Little girl is still under close observation for 3 reasons

*Parasitic bug acquired as a result of the attack

*she vomited while under anesthetic and this caused lung prolems

* she now has a clot in her jugular vein!

So this brings in aspects I had never thought of. The bites and scratches have become the least of her worries!!

Apparently the attack occured at a friends place wher there about 8 or so girls of the same age playing. The mother called them for lunch and as the girls ran squeeling up the stairs the dog grabbed the last one in line - our neighbours grand daughter.

It has also come out that since that attack a second Mastiff owned by ther same people attacked and mauled another child. It to was put down

Rotten!! no matter how you look at it this was a rotten train of events.

Terrible consequences - for girl, dog, and both sets of parents. We were all saddened by this story I think.

Any more news on her Artme?

Some good news: Little girl ( Jenny ) is back home after a couple of weeks in Townsville hospital.
She is in good spirits but there are some problems still.

Still has two lots of medication per day for the parasitic bug.
Still has the chipped bone in the neck.
Still has a blood clot in her Jugular that requires daily Warfarin treatment until it is disolved. Lots of potential problems there.

Getting someone to listen to claims for compensation is proving difficult. Two well known law firms have already put obstacles
in the way of this.

It is incomprehensible to me that this sort of thing should not be automatically be the subject of compulsory compensation.
