Ewww ... Dachshund Eats Owner's Big Toe ALTON, ILL. --A 56-year old woman says her miniature dachshund, Roscoe, gnawed off her right big toe while she was asleep.
Linda Floyd says she has no feeling in her toes because of nerve damage from diabetes.
She discovered the toe missing after waking from a nap Monday.
She called her daughter, who phoned 911.
Hospital officicials say not only did Roscoe chewed off the toe and part of the toe joint, he also severed an artery.
A veterinarian says the toe had been bandaged because of a healing hangnail.
That might have somehow attracted the dog.
Roscoe was euthanized because of safety concerns.
