A UK man was horrified after discovering that his dog nearly chewed off his toe — only to find later that his am-pet-ation might’ve saved his life.
The Cambridge native’s nap was cut short after he heard his wife emit a bloodcurdling scream.
As it turned out, his 7-month-year-old pup gnawed his tootsie so badly that he’d fractured it, and left a nail hanging off like a human chew toy.“I was asleep on the couch when my wife walked in and shouted, ‘Dave, the puppy’s chewing your toe!' ”The Brit was forced to remain there for nine days while doctors administered intravenous antibiotics to stop it from spreading to his bone.
Despite the grueling ordeal, the bite turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as it led to a shocking diagnosis.“Because of all this, I discovered that my foot is completely numb, I can’t feel anything.” Subsequent CT scans revealed that the Brit had suffered two blocked arteries, putting him in danger of requiring a leg amputation due to the lack of blood flow to the region.
Thanks to Harley’s Rex-ploratory incision, Lindsay is currently being assessed for stents, which would open up the arteries and restore circulation to his limbs.“I’ll be keeping the dog. I’ll try to keep my toe, too, but if not, I told the doctor to cut it off, and I can take it home for him!”
