A woman contracted a rare infection from the bacteria capnocytophaga canimorsus, probably when her German shepherd puppy, Taylor, licked an open cut
Days after returning home from a Punta Cana vacation, Marie Trainer called out of work with a backache and nausea. Then her temperature spiked and dropped, sending her to a local Stark County, Ohio, emergency room in the early hours of May 11.
When Trainer woke in a hospital bed nine days later, her hands and legs had been amputated.It took doctors seven days to discover Trainer incurred a severe infection, not from a"tropical" travel disease as they first suspected, but from her German shepherd's kisses.
She hopes to attend the next fundraising event on August 31, a motorcycle poker run and dinner sponsored by friends from another local restaurant. She attributes her strength to the support of her family "It's been such a hard road to travel down, I wouldn't know what I'd do without them," Trainer said.Trainer will soon move from the hospital to a rehabilitation facility to learn how to use prostheses.
