No one suggests rabies shotsm for your son? Painful and inconvenient but
if they don't find the dog it might be considered a must do more than
prayers.

Vicki, talk about being ironic!  Will be in much prayer for no infection and
that the dog is found quickly.

Prayers on the way. My old vet who loved animals more than people, used
to say with sadness that once a dog tasted blood, they needed to be put
down as they would continue to bite. And you guessed it, he blamed the
bad owners for their behavior.
Have you taken your son to the doctor yet?

Vicki, not to alarm you, but my granddaughter got bit last summer by a stray
cat.  It broke the skin several places on her arm.  I took her to the
Emergency Room, where they gave her tetanus and antibiotic shots, then said
if we saw the cat again, call the Humane Society, so it could be picked up
and checked for Rabies.  The neighbor was able to get the same cat in her
house, and the Humane Society picked it up, then checked it for Rabies.
Thank God, the cat was "clean".  However, the doctor on call at the
Emergency Room told me that they are required to contact the Health
Department whenever someone comes in with animal bites.  If it were me, I'd
be a little skeptical about sending your son to college without checking it
further, especially as you said the skin was broken open.  Nanny

prayers are on the way.  Please keep us posted.

In my prayers,,,, life is what is happening around us everyday and most of
it is not planned for.   May he and the dog be clean as a whistle.

Prayers coming that way Vickie. I hope all goes well with your son and that
they do find the dog.
