Now don't succumb to the erroneous theory that a dog's mouth is clean!
It isn't and besides which, think where Casey's tongue might have just
been !

My son (when young) used to lie on the floor watching television while
our lab often licked his face. Finally when nothing else worked I
came in to see the dog licking his face and said - would you lick the
dogs penis ? That's what he was licking before your face lol He
nearly threw up, solved the problem.

SPOILSPORT!!! I know, I know but I didn't say dog spit was *clean*
just that it has magical healing properties!! We still tell the SMDGD
that dog spit has magical healing properties. It makes her laugh,
especially when she can turn around and tell us the dog just got done

Interesting thoughts!
I would suspect that a few moments after a dog has cleaned himself up that
any salvia containing bacteria has gone down the hatch. The bacteria that
builds up on the teeth (read tarter) is another matter. Any dog bite deeper
than 1/4" is a real concern because bacteria from the teeth get deposited
way down in a very nice incubator and infection starts almost immediately.
Plus it is very hard (sometimes painful) to apply pressure to the bite area
to cause enough bleeding to flush the bacteria out of the puncture, plus the
blood clots quicker near the skin surface trapping the little gremlins in.

Been there done that!

Having said that I have allowed a dog to lick a very bad scrape I once got
on my leg. All the blood and dirt particles were gone in a few minutes. I
washed the area off with mild soap and water (no bandages) and everything
was just fine in a couple of days. No scaring what-so-ever. Was a h..... of

My conclusion was that the rough part of the dog's tongue cleaned up the
scrape, not the saliva. Anyone who has had a dog lick an area of it's own
hide down through a couple of layers of skin can attest to the fact that a
dog's tongue may seem smooth it can be just like sandpaper.

Gotta take Casey to the vet for his monthly social visit tomorrow so I will
check. Retractions may be in order.

When my son was small, he had a badly infected bite from another child
at the creche. The doctor said human bites are far more likely to be
infectious than dog bites!

Knowing dogs and their odd behaviors, I always hate getting face licks. I
don't mind it is someplace I can wash easily...
