Puppy’s Caught on fire for 0.5 seconds
I feel so stupid I had a candle on my coffee table and he jumped up and put his nose near the flame. Immediately his fur caught on fire. Without even thinking I grabbed his face and put it out so all in all it really was like 0.5 seconds but should I take him to the vet? He seems totally fine and I also splashed his face with water after (seemed unnecessary but like idk just in case?)
Also yes. Learned my lesson. No open flames. Like duh. But I just wasn’t even thinking.
Edit: hi everyone I called the emergency vet just as an abundance of caution and they said that because he wasn’t missing fur and seemed happy that he was likely fine. He’s getting a check up next week anyways so they said just to mention it to our normal vet and keep and eye on him.
Also apologies for my terrible grammar in the title. I was still mid-panic (clearly lol).
For those asking he is a 5 month old Havanese named Archie and unfortunately I’m on my phone so I don’t believe I can add a photo but he’s very cute with white and brown spots.
Finally a huge thank you for being very judgemental free. Obviously I feel like the worst dog mom in the world that this happened and absolutely acknowledge that this was 100% my own stupidity. It could have been much MUCH worse, so for those other new dog moms, take it from me and donate your fancy candles to a friend.
For now I am guilty feeding Archie some kong puppy cheese whiz and he is very content.
