    Wow Catrin hope you heal fast and they find the dog (and the owner). I'm impressed that you could keep riding.

    HOLY MOLY!!!
    I can't imagine how bad it could have been if you'd fallen and that dog got on top of you. eeesh- horrid dog owner. I'm so sorry you were bitten. I hope you feel better soon and that it all heals up nicely.
    I hope they can find the dog, too. Better to be safe than sorry with the rabies.

    Yikes, Catrin. Glad you got away with only bites and not something worse.

    Sorry, it ruined your good ride too.

    I'm with the others here; if they don't find the dog, you should probably do the vaccine

    I will call my doctor Monday about this. I just did some searching for info on modern vaccine and at least it isn't injected in the stomach these days. I read about it a little more, on what rabies does to humans...

    Catrin! Hope you get to feeling better.

    And I hope the local police officer finds the dog. The owner needs some re-education.

    Catrin, So sorry that this happened to you. I agree with the others about getting vaccinated if you can't find the dog. If you were in a rural area, no telling what the dog has been in contact with. Much better safe than wondering. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

    My father-in-law said it was not the stomach injections anymore, that is good he was right. My friend Johnny had them before vet school and it is the only time I have seen a human look green, plus he bruised bad. Sorry your maiden voyage went south, sounds like it was going great before that!
