I thought I would be so smart, and even better- save money- by shaving Iliad myself instead of paying the groomer to do it.
It all started out just fine. He was being a good boy, and even seeming to enjoy the hair cut. Well, after his back was pretty well done, I started to do down his sides and by his legs. Well, he wasn't going to have that, and started getting mad. Okay, not just mad, beyond mad. I decided to stop before he got aggressive, but I had to brush him off... Well that was his last straw and he bit me. Not just a little bite. No, he sank his teeth way in, and wouldn't let go! Ouch doesn't begin to cover it. I also have a nice scratch from my neck down my chest.
So... off to instacare- they wouldn't stitch my arm, too great an infection risk. I had to get a tetanus shot, a shot of antibiotics in my butt, and an oral antibiotic and pain meds. Yep it is bad enough to get pain meds. The doctor is really worried that an infection is going to pop up, despite all the meds. Crossing my fingers and praying that won't happen.
Much to my dismay, I am not an animal whisperer. I am not invincible, and yes, my own cat that loves me will bite me if he feels the need.
Mind you- when I got home from the doctor- he was purring and wanting loves.
His half done hair cut....
Ouch....
