Joy,
We are major dog lovers at my house. Had this same problem with two
of my darlings (they were naughty) and my husband and I did exactly
what you did..very wrong...we know better. Found out (we were both
bitten) that dog bites are very serious. You must see a hand doctor
and have it checked even while you are on anit meds. This could become a serious infection as it is just an old wives tale about dogs saliva being
a healing agent, not so, many think that since dogs lick themselves and heal their wounds, when a dog bites us it is serious. Swelling is not a good sign. Please have it checked....and let us know how you are.
Also another good agent in case you can't get to water is a blanket to throw over them. We didn't do either...but
know better for next time.
It's a good thing we love them.
Kind Regards,
Jean
