[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any puncture wound caused by an animal, dog, cat whatever should be seen by a medical professional - ESPECIALLY in an immune compromised elderly person. Yes this means there will be a record that your dog bit the neighbor and you will have to provide his current rabies vaccination certificate - if he doesn’t have that, it is even more critical that she seek medical attention for the bite ASAP.

Believe me it’s better that you deal with the minor inconvenience of the health department asking for some paperwork than for you to face the lawsuit from grandma’s family when she loses her hand or arm to blood poisoning or dies of sepsis in a few weeks and no, I’m not kidding. ~healthcare professional who specializes in geriatric care[/quote]

This is good advice.   OP, your dog is aggressive and dangerous.   You need to hear that[/quote]

The dog is not aggressive, the neighbor is an idiot. Petting a dog inside the yard is stupid in genera as most otherwise friendly dogs are protective of their home and their personal space, but petting an already barking dog inside his yard is beyond stupid. The dog was putting her on notice not to come forward snd she even reached over the fence. I would be angry at the neighbor. I agree with the advice above that lady should see a doctor but i dont see how this is OP’s business, she cannot drag the lady to the doctor, lady should go on her own. OP can offer to drive her as a courtesy but the decision is up to the lady. I know people are litigious in this country but the lady reached out into w fenced yard to a dog that was clearly saying leave me alone [/quote]
I’m willing to bet that OP’s dog barks a lot more than she’ll admit and therefore the neighbor thought nothing of it. OP needs to train her dog.

Actually OP probably shouldn’t have a dog if she can’t train it. [/quote]
