Surgeon Instructs Dog Officers - Use H2O2 and Retrieve That Fingertip!!

You just never know what knowing about hydrogen peroxide
can do for you…

In Pasadena, Surgeon Jeanette Martello successfully re-attached
the finger tip of toddler who came to close to a neighbor’s pit bull…

Lucky for the little fellow that Martello has a dog of her
own, and has had to use the hydrogen peroxide vomit induction
method on her own pooch in the past - so she knew just
what to tell the California Dog Officer in charge of the pooch
to do-

And lucky for the tyke, the Dog Officer listened - and then
called back excitedly to say “We have the finger! It worked!!”

Martello had learned the trick herself when her dog inadvertantly
consumed medications some time ago, and she frantically called
local bet hospitals to find out how to get the dog to vomit
up the meds before they had a chance to begin working
on her pet.

Her thinking in this most recent case was similar: she needed
that finger before the pit bull’s digestive enzymes began to
attack it - and she got it too!

Happily, it seems the finger tip, successfully reattached by
Dr. Martello and her surgical team, is healing nicely.
