Mini Me Update
There were so many responses to Mini Me's attack, that I want to give you an update.
Mini Me is fine. He sustained a number of deep puncture wounds and was so sore he wouldn't move without coaxing for several days. One publication reported that he wasn't taken to a veterinarian, and we don't want you to think his wounds weren't serious or that he didn't receive treatment. Debbie Jones, Six White Horses program director, was in close contact with the veterinarian she uses throughout the week following the attack. The puncture wounds did not require stitching, but the veterinarian recommended that Debbie administer a tetanus vaccination and 2 penicillin shots each day for a week. As with ranchers and farmers who care for livestock, a veterinarian's skills were not required to administer the antibiotics. The penicillin worked, the wounds healed, and the little guy is back to normal.
Although the city did not designate the attacking dog a "dangerous dog," the animal control office did give the owner until Jan 11 to find another location for the dog. The owner, apparently a temporary occupant of the house, moved to another location near Treadaway Blvd. Residents in that area will not be notified that a dog, with a history of aggressive behavior, has moved into the area. Apparently, according to animal control officers, the dog's owner is still a frequent visitor to the original home, and often brings the dog during visits.
Mini Me's troubles appear to be over for now.
