Essay on How Serious Can a Cat Bite Be?

Although these dogs are stereotyped as being "dangerous", bite statistics, when accurately reported, do not back up those claims. The first thing is to find out which dogs are doing the biting. Dundee Hospital in the UK conducted a study designed to analyze bite reports and medical attention required by bite victims over a three month period before and after the implementation of a breed ban specifically targeting pit bulls. The results indicated no change in the number of bites reported. Banning pit bulls did nothing to change the amount of dog bites.

Pit Bulls are among the top percentage of dog bites across the nation, but it partly due to the misrepresentation. Most handlers just see a similarity to a Pit Bull’s physical appearance and then the dog is classified as such. The media always misrepresents and wrongly accuses Pit Bulls, they are always quick to name the pit bull breed as the attacking dog. The government also does the same thing if a dog has similarities to a Pit Bull, then it is automatically classified as a Pit Bull even if it’s not correct. They don’t care about

Mrs. Adams’ surgical wound is displaying signs of infection as evidenced by the pain she is experiencing and drainage she describes. The environmental theory would identify that the infection is a direct result from the unsuitable environment that Mrs. Adams is living in, such as the lack of airflow and light, and the pets who are not being cared for appropriately are contributing to the dirty environment. Mrs. Adams is not achieving the best conditions

C.  See a healthcare provider if nausea, vomiting, and joint pain occur after a tick bite.

Pit bulls only harm children because, they don’t know what to do if little kids are pulling their tail ears or pinching their nose or just hitting them with stuff all the dog knows how to do is to try to bite the little kid the dog can’t help it it's the kids fault for being in their face.

Bite reports also sometimes show a false story. For example in 2005 a vet was trying to find source of bleeding inside a pit bulls mouth, and then when the vet reached in the sedated dog’s mouth, the dog had a seizure, and its jaws clenched down on the vets hand breaking the skin (Enos). Bite records show that the incident occurred, but none of the details behind the bite were revealed. Also if we banned all pit bulls, and replaced them with any other breed like a German shepard or a Rottweiler, they could do the same damage to others that a pitbull

Pit bulls are responsible for the majority of fatal dog attacks, according to DogsBite.org, 71% of fatal dog attacks are from pit bulls, 7 times more than the next closest dog breed.

Many bites could be avoided by the education of dog owner no matter the breed. Like mentioned earlier many people leave their dog with their kids unattended. This is a horrible idea even if your child is good with dogs. Kid often don’t see the warning dogs give until it is too late Also dogs are a very easy target because they can't tell their side of the

Jennette is a seven months old female. Three to four weeks ago (unknown) a cat bite Jennette in her face (on the lower part of her cheekbone). Jennette was at a birthday party. It is unknown how the cat bites Jennette in the face. Jennette's mom Kristi did take Jennette to the doctor in Brookhaven or Summit. Kristi took Jennette at 7:45 pm and Kristi did not notify the father (unknown) until 8:00 pm. Jennette also has a bad diaper rash. The diaper rash has Jennette bottom (butt) raw. The diapers rash begin on her butt cheek all the up to her vagina. While bathing Jennette, she will not sit in the tub on her bottom; due to her but being raw. Jennette just cried. Jennette's butt is always red. It appears that Kristi does not change

These dogs do not deserve the treatment the are being given. In 1996 the odds of dying in a dog attack was one in 11,534,087 (Delise 100). The latest statics of dying in a dog attack was in 2005 and it was one in 147,717 (Britt). The only reason the odds are up is the increase in population. Another reason is the amount of damage that happens, Dr. Sandi Sawchuk said “...If someone did the same research on Chihuahuas, they would probably find that there are more bites, but they’re less reported due to insignificant damage” (Pisani). Dr. James Serpell and friends did that exact test and found that smaller dogs tend to show more aggression towards humans. Ninety-three percent of Pit Bulls are being euthanized before even being put up for adoption,

Its venom destroys the walls of blood vessels near the site of the bite, sometimes causing a large skin ulcer.

Pit bulls are not the only breed that bites. This means that any other breed of dog can potentially bite or act violent. You may have seen the statistics for dog bites but many of those charts are unfair and none of them are accurate. It is not possible to calculate a bite rate for a breed [because] mixed breeds are commonly described as purebreds [and] the actual number of bites that occur in a community is not known if they did not result in serious injury. (American Veterinary Medical Association, 1733) Some dog breeds are more patient that others and every dog has a different personality just like people do. Dogs aren’t able to express their feelings using words so if someone like a child or an adult is bothering them, they can only tolerate so much until they snap at you. Any dog would do this if being pushed too much but pit bulls are at a disadvantage because they are much bigger and built stronger so when they attack

More evidence includes looking at data surrounding vicious dog bites reported in the United States between 1970 and the mid 1990’s. Results show that out of 20 fatal dog attacks in 1981-1982, only 5 were by pitbulls. The other breeds included German Shepherds, Huskies, Great Danes, Dobermans, Chow Chows, and others. Between 1995 and 1996, fatal attacks were caused by similar breeds, with about 30% from Rottweilers (Gladwell, 2006).

Using the death based approach, 66 out of 76 of the Pit bull type were purebreds and the rest were crossbreeds, 17 out of 27 were purebreed German Shepherd dogs, 7 out of 8 were purebreed Saint Bernards, and 1 out of 5 were Labrador Retrievers (Stacks et al. 838). The rest of the totals were cross breeds. Using the dog-based approach, 98 out of 118 were purebred Pit bull-type, 24 out of 41 were German Shepherd, and 7 out of 8 were purebreed Saint Bernard (Stacks et al. 838). Out of all these studies, they found out that 24% were deaths involved with unrestrained dogs off the owner's property, 58% were unrestrained dogs on the owner's property, and 17% involved restrained dogs on the owner's property, and 1% involved a restrained dog off the owner's property (838). This however can be justified, most of these dogs bite for a reason just like people may lash out on other people if they are mad or angry.

Measure of this concept is based on the stages of wound healing and the Centers of Disease Control
