You aren't going to believe it. I can't believe it.
Do these kind of freak things only happen to us?
We went to a b-day party tonight at some friend's house. They have 8 - 6 week old puppies - SO cute! We had a blast playing with them.
Then some cake.
A gift.
Kids depart to go play while adults sit at the table talking.
No screaming, just Xian in to report, "Mom, LB got bit by the lizard and it is bleeding badly!"
NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They have an 'African fat-tailed gecko' - I'm sure you know the rest of this story.
Yes, she got bit. Blood everywhere. She never shed even ONE tear; she is amazing!
Thankfully there was a man there who could deal w/ blood better than I could, so he took over. He poured witch hazel on it. We called the pet store and poison control. Poison Control recommended she get on some augmentin as this lizard carries salmonella (don't they all?)
Plus, I actually think she needs stitches - but I don't have much experience in this arena....?
Her Dr's office finally called me and stated that typically the only people that contract salmonella from lizards have comprimised immune systems. She didn't think the augmentin was necessary. We will wait 'til the morn to see how the wound looks as to whether or not she needs stitches. Maybe it is okay w/o them?? LB is fine = trooper!
I must have a healthy heart as I've definitely stressed it out a lot since we've lived in GA.
BTW, hubby was 2 hrs late taking off out of Qatar, so got to DC 2 hrs late and missed his flight. He has to spend the night in DC and is NOT happy about it!
Title meaning: since living here in GA, Mimi has gotten bit by a crazed donkey at a petting zoo, Lily and friends got attacked by rottweilers, and now this.
