[nagdu] Bite or Not?

[Becky Frankeberger]

Dogs in play will sometimes aim wrong and a tooth will break the skin. This
is pretty normal. My gentle Baxter got Kevin's chocolate lab between the ear
and his eye. A nearly perfect round, but small hole. It healed up on its
own. In a dog attack Baxter got caught just below his eye. I don't think
anyone noticed it at my wedding. As rough as Jake and Tomato Head play, I am
shocked  no errant tooth did any damage now this seven years they are
together.Just a minor scratch or two on the ears. Jake loves Tomato Head's
ears to chew on, grin.

So normal stuff finding a tooth mark somewhere. It is just not all that
common. So don't worry about it, warm smile.

We found a mark on my retired guide's face just above her teeth (eye teeth
or whatever you call them).  More important than the location, how can I
tell if this is a dog bite or some other injury, and do I need to be
concerned?

 

We have a temporary boarder who has a pit mix who is somewhat protective of
toys that aren't even hers; if she is biting either of my dogs, he'll have
to go-that I can't tolerate
