[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am so sorry you are dealing with this. A close friend of my mom's had a beloved cat who went nuts and attacked her when she was returning from a brief trip out of town. It turns out the cat had kidney disease and basically just went nuts. My mom's friend ended up with really serious injuries to her legs, and on top of everything else ended up with C. diff. after the IV antibiotics she had to be treated with. The injuries and resulting treatment-related complications she received were significant and potentially life-threatening.

Which is to say, just because an animal is greatly loved does not mean it cannot do you or your child grievous harm, especially when it is sick and not behaving normally either because of the illness or because of the drugs it is on. Even if there is zero question that you and your husband love your pet and would do anything to help it, you have to recognize that your beloved pet can seriously injure you despite the love you bear for it.

Please put your safety and your kids' safety first. You don't have to throw your dog out the door -- but you do need to make sure you are separated from your dog and that your dog is receiving appropriate medical treatment in an environment where none of you (dog included) is at risk.[/quote]
