A warning...


Just a little note tonight to plead to dog owners/lovers: Never, ever try to break up a fight between two dogs. You will lose, every time. As much as you may love them and want to protect them, let them injure each other. They have thicker skin. You do not. I saw a patient today who practically had her thumb ripped off while trying to break up a fight. She had numerous lacerations and puncture wounds. We had to call in a hand specialist and the chance of getting an infection is astronomical. Her medical expenses will well surpass any she would have had to pay at the vet if she would have just let them do their thing...
