British 51-year-old Amanda Gommo was hospitalized for three days after her daughter Chihuahua Belle accidentally pooped on her face while she was sleeping. According to the local Derby Telegraph, the dog fell ill while taking a nap with Amanda and had severe diarrhea.
The mother of three children was sleeping with her mouth open at the time of the accident. After the incident, Amanda developed a gastrointestinal infection from the pet.
“She was taking an afternoon nap with Belle, as she always did, when she suddenly felt something gushing out of her mouth,” said Amanda, according to the report.
“It was disgusting and I vomited violently for hours. I couldn’t get the taste out of my mouth,” he said.
After the fear, the dog was taken to the vet and was diagnosed with stomach upset. Later, Amanda started showing the same symptoms as Belle.
After going through a series of tests, doctors instructed Amanda to drink plenty of water to rule out a possible infection, as well as take pain relievers for her stomach cramps.
But the symptoms gradually worsened, and after 48 hours Amanda’s cramps had spread throughout her body, according to the Derby Telegraph. He was then to be taken by ambulance to Bristol’s Royal Infirmary Hospital, where he was to be observed.
At the health facility, doctors diagnosed Amanda with a gastrointestinal infection transmitted through the animal’s feces. He was kept under observation for three days.
“From the moment I got sick I couldn’t eat anything until the IV was inserted. The cramps got progressively worse and I felt them all over my body, even my legs. I was more dehydrated than sick. and with diarrhea that my kidneys shrunk to half,” Amanda added to the report.
