[blocula]

I've never been bitten by a dog before and i've never been attacked by one either.But earlier this evening i took our male lab out for a walk in the cemetary behind our house,like i've done a hundred times before and as we were walking along i noticed a german shepherd near by and thought nothing of it...

A couple of minutes later the german shepherd,i think it was a male,came near to us and the two dogs stopped and just looked at each other in silence and then in a split second the german shepherd growled and lunged at "me" and got a hold of my hand.I pulled my hand from its mouth and kicked it and it ran away.Wether that was the right thing for me to do or not,i guess it was just an involuntary reaction.All our dog did was just bark at the german shepherd...

I looked at my "bloody left hand" and i knew right away that i should go to the hospital and i also knew that i have never seen that dog around here before and i didnt notice any tags around its neck either.The first thing i did was walk me and our dog home and then i looked up rabies on the internet and what i read scared me into going to the hospital.After waiting in A&E for four hours i saw a doctor and she told me that i probably will not get "rabies",but because i dont know the owners of the dog that bit me,theres no way to know if it had been immunized for rabies and that i should get the rabies shots just in case,which is what i'm doing...

Rabies is rare in the UK and theres more or less no cure once you have it and its a very painful and horrible way to die.The most common wild animals to get rabies from are foxes and dogs.Worldwide around 97% of rabies cases come from unvaccinated dog bites...

Sometimes a person can contract rabies,but severe symptoms wont show up "for months" and by then,99% of the time,its too late and those symptoms are malaise,headache,fever,acute pain,violent movements,uncontrolled excitement,depression,hydrophobia,mania,terror attacks,lethargy,coma and respiratory failure.A very terrible and evil way to die...

I was given a tetanus shot and "seven" rabies shots all over my body and i have to go back "three more times" and get more shots,but anythings better than taking a chance,by doing nothing and then dying from rabies...

Spiffing tale, sibling!

Have you been subject to a time slip or perhaps abump on the head resulting in 5 months of amnesia?

[RandomSally]

They would have given you antibiotics before anything else. Did you miss that bit when you looked up how dog bites are treated?

He must have joined here to share his fantastic stories with us.

I don't believe he received any rabies injections anyway as we don't have it in this country.

[morbidangel101]

Maybe it was a psychopath sea dog?

Anyway, what's with putting "random" words in quotation marks?

I think this poster sums the OP up pretty well

Well spotted. This had the distinct aroma of bovine effluent hence my post #2.

[cultureman]

In the UK you have about the same chance of getting rabies from the bite of a German shepherd (person), as from that of a German Shepherd (dog).

Quite. No rabies in dogs in the UK. Would get an antibiotic injection at the most.

gawd...he is spread all over the internet.....tentacles everywhere!]
Perhaps this is first evidence of an alien invasion.......subtly undermining from within

[blueblade]

Obvious bullshit story, but on the topic of rabies, the only person I ever heard of who survived it, was a young girl, who was deliberately placed into a coma. She eventually pulled through.

[droogiefret]

You do know that ancient alien races can shapeshift into dogs don't you OP?

Good thinking, we wouldn't want to lose you.

Well, not quite an exact quote as he's changed "united states" to "UK" and "emergency room" to "A&E".

However, the spelling mistakes and uncertain capitalization are still there so he's not that clever!

I went to that cemetery and the german shepherd was still in exactly the same spot. I took photos of it but they all came out blurred. It just looks like a cornetto. One with nuts sprinkled on it.

You get offered a tetanus. My son was bitten by a neighbour's dog when he was about 10, and the hospital said he would need a tetanus if he wasn't uptodate with his regular innoculations.

Yes, of course. I was just thinking about rabies injections

What the heck was the point of this thread? Lameness, OP. Lameness!
