NEITHER I liked at all. 1 was to put the dog down and have him tested for rabies, if you are a dog person you know their is only 1 way to check for this.
The other was to quarantine the dog and put ME on shots, again if you know how they give rabies shots it is not a real happy thought.
Unfortunately his injuries would not allow him to be saved ( He was shot) and they just had him tested, EVEN though I had all the shots required by law.
OP I am sorry for the bites and other injuries. Keep a good check on them. Something triggered the dogs to act like this, gotta find out what that was or either get rid of one of them. NEXT time it might not be a hand.
I would definitely look into Professional Dog training, might be expensive but worth it.
I know my homeowners insurance has a clause in it about what they consider viscious dogs. Might want to check that also.
Hope it all gets worked out for you and your girl is ok.

I definately appreciate the concern. And my gf definately learned her lesson. And the animal control/doctor thing has been taken care of so I dont have to worry about that. I think my gf was more worried about the dogs than herself, even after she had been bitten.
