Wild animals usually avoid people. They might attack, however, if they feel threatened, are sick, or are protecting their young or territory. Attacks by pets are more common. Animal bites rarely are life-threatening, but if they become infected, you can develop serious medical problems.

To prevent animal bites and complications from bites

Never pet, handle or feed unknown animals
Leave snakes alone
Watch your children closely around animals
Vaccinate your cats, ferrets and dogs against rabies
Spay or neuter your dog to make it less aggressive
Get a tetanus booster if you have not had one recently
Wear boots and long pants when you are in areas with venomous snakes

If an animal bites you, give the wound prompt attention and clean it well. Get medical attention if necessary.

Open Question: Have you seen a vampire? (Tue, 14 Feb 2012 08:29:34 GMT)
When I was 6 years old my parents had a dentist file my eye teeth down, because they protruded over my lip. They said I looked evil. Over my youth there were a few times when I asked myself if there were vampires and on occasion thought I may have caught the tiniest glimpse of them. There were a couple of times where I became spooked. I had a period in my life where I was fighting a lot at my high school, and was afraid of the bigger kids hurting me, and I used to day dream about biting onto

The dog was current on all his vaccines and had not been in contact with wild animals. When he bit me I had three pairs of pants on due to the cold, but no hole or tears were in any of the pants. However, the skin was cut. The dog has since been euthanized for other issues (his fear biting was too much to risk with children around). I went to the doctor on Wednesday because the bruising had increased and they created a bite report. That doctor prescribed an antibiotic. Now because the dog is n

Towards the end of October I felt two small lumps at the side of her cats throat whilst stroking her. I mentioned this to my neighbour who two weeks later took the cat to the vet.

Resolved Question: My cat is continuously attacking me? (Wed, 21 Dec 2011 20:35:54 GMT)
Okay, so unlike all the other Yahoo! questions about attacking cats, my cat has not recently began to scratch and bite me, but rather had been after her first month with me. I've had her for about year now, and she continuously attacks me unless she's in her heat cycle (my dad doesn't want to 'waste' his money spaying a cat) or during times when I've just 'returned' from a period of time away from her, for example when I sleep, and when I wake up or when I go out of town for a short while with

She can be so sweet sometimes.She lets me hold, hug, and kiss her. She sleeps with me and my mom. She kind of goes back and forth to who she feels like sleeping with that night.

Tell the world your story of how raising costs and a failing job mark, ect is making you suffer. Like so, I'm a stay at home mother on SSID, my husband brings home about $500.00 a week and I bring that in a month. We have tried everything to get help with rising food costs, heat cost, and heath care cost, and everywhere we go we're told he makes to much money a month. One place told us, he was over the limit by $3.00, and that those $3.00 would make ALL the differences each month when buying
Resolved Question: Are mixed breed dogs helthier than pure breed? (Sun, 11 Dec 2011 22:31:57 GMT)
Do you think that's true ? I was reading this article and it said 'A Time magazine article on the effects of overbreeding reported that as many as 25 percent of the 20 million purebred dogs in the US are afflicted with a serious genetic problem. Mixed breeds, on the other hand, have something called hybrid vigor. When you mix two or more separate gene pools, the recessive genes that carry the health problems are buried. As a result, you get a healthier animal. Simply put, mixed-breed dogs
Resolved Question: Would MMA be in a different state of fighting if state comissions allowed a concept of no rules? (Tue, 06 Dec 2011 15:52:26 GMT)
Everybody here is probably a UFC/MMA fan just like me, but what would it be if it did not have rules? Everybody talks about how wrestling is a good base to start off in the sport of MMA, but yet every fighter I see has no true essence to fighting. Not to say that they cannot fight or that they are not good at what they do, on the contrary they are very good at what they do. My point is, is that rules put a cloak over true fighting and shows audiences a watered down version of something so natu
Resolved Question: Am I expecting too much from my cat? (Tue, 06 Dec 2011 13:35:10 GMT)
Over the years we have adopted several cats - house cats and feral barn cats - and had good success with the animals adapting quickly. We have two dogs that will both respect a cat that isn't interested and hisses and will listen when we tell them to leave the cat alone. We adopted her Friday night, 12/2. She spent the night hiding under the hutch in our dining room. I tried to force her out (food/water/litter box) and until I turned the light off she wouldn't budge. Once she got out I left h

I got a kitty from someone who couldn't take care of her animals. The cat needed to be under severe treatment for ringworm and a bunch of health related stuff. Since I was the only one taking him to the vet every week, bath him twice a week, applied the medicines and all that, now he associates me with bad things, of course he doesn't get it that I'm not trying to hurt him but to help.

My fiance and I rescued our cat, Luna, from the animal shelter. When we first got her, she was very sick and we nursed her back to health, but while she was sick she was very cuddly and slept all the time and never really played with anything. After she was better, she became very playful, and if you aren't careful you get pretty scratched and bitten up because she gets so excited. But the past 2 days she has been completely different.

This is the post that I came across and would like to know your views: "I find that "size chart" a bunch of hooey.

Resolved Question: Have you EVER heard of anything like this, dog may get euthanized for biting a vet tech? (Fri, 09 Sep 2011 10:09:28 GMT)
I think everyone that works with dogs in a professional capacity understands that at some point they are going to get bitten. Certainly in veterinary practices dogs are under great stress and pain at times and even the most gentle of dogs will bite. Below is story about a Dachshund in Colorado who may face euthanizing because he bit the tech at the Veterinary hospital. Have you ever heard of anything like this? What are your thoughts on this matter? Do you feel this is fair or reasonable?

We have had a sweet, affectionate outdoor cat for over a year. She was 4 when we got her and we were told by a vet that she was already fixed, but then she had kittens. Now she and the kittens have been fixed (for real). She started to be nasty to the kittens right after they were weaned and right after she was fixed--going out of her way to attack them, scratching, hissing. We were told that was normal and that mom cats just try to toughen up their kittens by being mean to them. Now the

I have had three rescue dogs. A Doberman when I was young, and two GSDs now. I guess it is good that you are "saving a life" although anyone else would have adopted our shepherds ( they look cute). But they also come with many risks! The dobe was abused and was pretty messed up due to that. She bit me and due to the liability she presented, my parent put her to sleep. Please don't get mad that we didn't "rehome" her because she also was older with life threatening health issues. We got the

Before answering, please take my posting seriously. My cat is a 9 year old female and we adopted her 8 years ago and she has always been angry. She has always been an indoor cat for all these years and she was spayed when we first got her. I know she did have kittens before that. Anyway, she gets mad pretty much over everything like when I pet her, go near her, when she is looking out the window, if she sees any animal in her line of vision or if she smells another animal. When she is angry,
Resolved Question: Los Angeles has become dangerous to dogs. Do you think this new law has gone too far? (Wed, 27 Jul 2011 16:15:19 GMT)
This new law passed in Los Angeles County this weeks changes the definition of "dangerous dog". It also seems to skirt around our constitutional right of "due process" since there will be no trial, just a hearing by Animal regulation. As we all know Animal control will always stand by their own. There is an appeal process if done within 5 days, but remember lawyers are not free. People have to realize that loosely worded laws are open to the interpretation of the AC officer. A dog lunging at

Seriously! And what about the adult dogs that are done romping and bouncing around the yard for play, the older dogs that still enjoy wandering around and sniffing out the neighborhood- wouldn't they get excersize that is more suitable for a dog, as opposed to a human, if they were allowed to run free sometimes? Cats are allowed to run free, and being tiny they are hard for a driver to even see. I don't accept that we are protecting our pets from cars as a sound excuse. And most dogs don't bit

My friend has kids, dogs, and fleas! She doesn't want to flea bomb her house because she is afraid of the dangerous chemicals. I don't blame her, because the flea bombs and treatments are poisons and toxic and can probably cause cancer. But the fleas are biting her even. Not just the dogs. The dogs are on flea treatment now (Frontline Plus) but still there are fleas. I have not seen fleas when I've been there, not even on the dogs, but they do know they have fleas because of the flea bites.

This isn't the first animal he has killed, but it is his first cat. He stabbed the cat a bunch of times and then bashed his head in with a rolling pin. Is this his terrible twos just a bit late, or some sort of phase, or does he have a serious problem? He has serious anger and behavoral issues, but we thought that it's normal for boys to be aggressive and to bite and kick and strangle other kids and his siblings. Should I start to get worried?
