Have you even been bitten by a wild animal?

My daughter was at her friend's farm yesterday and there was a crow that was hurt that she went to help. well he bite her finger. Took a good chuck out too. They cleaned it and we went to the walk in clinic to have a doctor look at it. He checked her out and said she was fine. She does look fine today and it is already looking much better and healing today. I was worried about diseases or something. We have been bitten or scratched from house pets and knew if they were healthy but with the bird we didn't know. Have you even been bitten by a wild animal?

No, I don't think I have! That must have been a little scary! If she is up to date on her tetanus, I am sure she will be fine. Just watch the area for infection- though it sounds like she was well taken care of when it happened.

She is up to date, thank goodness! I can't remember the last time I had one but the kids are fine. It is looking good today and doesn't hurt, but you hear about so many bad things that you do worry a bit. Thanks

Yeah in Florida on vacation I was bite by a wild dolphin. Yes the thing came right up to the boat smelled the shrimp I was using for bait and bite. I was lucky not to lose my fingers it apperantly though I tasted nasty and let go. My hand was so swollen and fingers unbendable as it got me on the knuckles for like 3 weeks it hurt. But I was lucky to have no major injuries. The funny part is my hubby got it all on video.

Hrm. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone referring to a crow as a wild animal. and No. I've never been bitten by any animal except my own dog once...and my cat.

I never really thought about it but I kinda mean a creature that you wouldn't know the medical background of.

As far as I remember I have never been bitten by a wild animal. Your poor daughter. It sounds like it would have hurt pretty bad. I am glad the doctor said it is fine.
