Roo got me good

UPDATE: I got a tetanus booster this morning and started a round of antibiotics. I am closely monitoring the puncture wounds.

The fate of Pharaoh the Roo has yet to be determined but I will post an update if anything changes

Thank you everyone for all the great advice and your concern. I appreciate it!

Increasingly aggressive Roo.

I know the two puncture wounds don’t look like much but my entire shin is bruising up quite nicely. My partner thinks I need to go get shots or antibiotics lol My cat is clearly concerned too lol

He has only attacked my partner before. Well, one time I had winter boots on that had some faux fur on them, and he did attack them because obviously. This time it seems he just didn’t like my flared flappy pants.

He chased my 7yo yesterday because she happened to run by the ladies while playing in the yard. I was able to divert his aggression towards me and crisis averted.

I always offer him treats first but the ladies are usually on it first. He’s our first ever Roo so I wasn’t really prepared for this increased aggression.

Is there anything I can do to make him less defensive and more comfortable with us? I fear my partner won’t tolerate him much longer
