My cousin's dog can be a bit temperamental, and he bit my cousin. Blood was drawn. I haven't seen what it looks like, as said cousin was holding a tissue to his lip, but it doesn't seem that bad. His dad took him to the hospital anyway to get stitches. Second cousin doesn't think it's bad, and doesn't think first cousin needs stitches. In any case, this is apparently the second time the dog has bitten, the first time being my uncle, in which case stitches were necessary. Both times, the dog was being teased. Second cousin is (rightly) panicking, and we're trying to figure out if this means the dog has to be put down.
I don't THINK he will be (a behaviourist is DEFINITELY needed though as well as bite inhibition training, which was not done when he was a puppy). Emergency input?? Anyone been in a similar situation or have any idea if the dog is in danger?
