OK, this was stupid. On the way to the vet today, I slipped my fingers into the crate to pet Chum's cheek.
He bit me. He's such a sweetie, I totally forgot that he used to be a biter!
It wasn't hard, more of a munch.
But there was an indent in my finger, so I pushed on it to see if it would bleed. It did.
I'm already on doxycycline because of the clincial diagnosis of Lyme Disease. 7 hours later, the end of my finger is a little swollen and definitely sore. But as a tetracycline, doxy ought to be fine for me.
But what about Chum? I e-mailed his vet to ask, because I totally forgot about it during his appointment.... but have I put him at risk for Lyme Disease now?
