My Dog Bit My Moms Nipple!?

My mom and dog were playing in the back yard with my dog's toy. when he jumped up to get the toy instead he grabbed my mom's nipple!! it has two holes in it and it's split down the middle. i told her she may need to go to the hospital but she's a little "embarrassed." it's bleeding and everything.

So should she go to the hospital or should she just let it heal on it's own with the proper care?

    if its split open it may need stitches. it will definately heal on its own but it may heal with the split if its bad enough.

    omg, that is embarrassing. But I think she should go to the hospital. I mean I'm no doctor and Im not completely sure of what to do, but it sounds kinda serious(I guess) so its probably a good idea to get it checked by a doctor.

    If it's just a small cut, I would just keep an eye on it and let it heal on it's own, but if it is a large cut and split down the entire thing I think she should see a doctor. There is no need to be embarrassed, stuff happens.

    clean it and put some neosporin on it with a bandage and if that does not work for a few days then call your doctor no need to run to the hospital unless you know your dog is sick or mom is allergic to dogs.

    She needs to go to the hospital in case of infection or need of stitches.She shouldn't be embarrassed,things of unusual nature happens all the time.She needs to go or it can get seriously infected.

    Make her go to the hospital, to ensure that it does heal properly AND that it's not infected.

    God, that sounds horribly painful.

    Why the hell are you telling us this? Do we want to know about it? NO!

    But since you already did, then I might as well answer you. Get her to a hospital, try to see a female doctor or nurse. Get her fixed up if she doesn't want to look funny for the rest of her life.

    She should definitely go to the doctor, it could seriously affect her and cuold get infected and that is a horrible spot to mess around wiht.
