Dog bite

[kirstlou998]

My dog nipped me last night and I’m pregnant don’t think broken skin just bruised what should I do

I think you will be fine! See your GP and get a tetanus jag if you feel safer!

If it didn't break the skin then just give it a wash, maybe an ice pack if its really sore, or paracecetamol. Tbh I wouldn't do much more than that, just keep an eye on it.

Oh and think about if your dog is ok to have around a newborn. Or if they are sick or in pain and lashed out, or is this a regular occurance. You have to put a baby's safety before your pet

That seems to be nothing, but start training your dog for the new arrival and generally to be less naughty

Bite wise - looks like you’ll have a bruise, nothing more

Dog wise - unless this was a one off where you stepped on his tail or something similar, you need to get some professional advice on the cause of the bite and how to safely progress with a child due and a dog who has a tendency to use its mouth. I say this as a dog trainer.
