Emotional trauma from dog attacks
Emotional trauma is a common side effect of a dog attack or dog bite. Sometimes, while physical injuries are beginning to heal, emotional injuries are still looming or are just beginning to surface.
How emotional trauma affects children and teens
While many adults suffer extreme emotional trauma after a dog attack,
children are most vulnerable.
They have difficulty understanding the
trauma and how it relates to their world. Therefore, after a traumatic
event such as a dog bite, children are most susceptible to long-term
emotional problems.
Children & teens may have symptoms including, but not limited to: fear of separation from parents, crying, excessive clinging, regressive behaviors such as thumb-sucking or wetting the bed, angry outbursts, diminishing school grades, nightmares, psycho-somatic illnesses, substance abuse, and/or anti-social behaviors.
