A MUM-of-two has died from a rare infection after being bitten by a friend\u2019s dog.<\/p>\n

Tracy Ridout, 53, from Perth, Australia, suffered a small bite while looking after the young German Shepherd last month.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

She \u201cdidn\u2019t think anything of it\u201d at the time but started feeling agonising pain after a few days and drove to Rockingham General Hospital early on August 18.<\/p>\n

Doctors found she had a Capnocytophaga canimorsus infection that was affecting her kidneys, liver and blood.<\/p>\n

Tracy\u2019s condition rapidly deteriorated and she died 11 days later, after being put in an induced coma.<\/p>\n

Writing on the family\u2019s fundraiser page, her daughter Sophie said: \u201cUnfortunately today Tracy has sadly passed away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a bacteria found in the mouths of dogs and cats.<\/p>\n

Infections in humans are very rare, with just 56 cases reported in England and Wales last year.<\/p>\n

Most people do not get ill with the infection, but it can be deadly in people with weaker immune systems, such as those on medication for cancer or with HIV.<\/p>\n

Symptoms include blisters near the wound, redness, swelling, pain and fever.<\/p>\n

Tracy did not notice any symptoms after the bite initially.<\/p>\n

Sophie told PerthNow: \u201cIt was not vicious or anything, she was playing with the dog and accidentally bit her finger instead of the toy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cShe didn\u2019t think anything of it, just bandaged it up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tracy started to feel pain around the wound a week after she was bitten and tried to treat it with Nurofen and Panadol, but the drugs did not work.<\/p>\n

After being diagnosed in hospital, she was transferred to the Fiona Stanley Hospital, where doctors told the family there was nothing more they could do to save her.<\/p>\n

Sophie said: \u201cAll of her organs pretty much shut down.\u201d<\/p>\n

She was taken off dialysis and doctors said they were ready \u201cjust to let her go\u201d on August 25, four days before she died.<\/p>\n

The family are now raising funds via GoFundMe to cover Tracy\u2019s funeral costs and bills, and also want to raise awareness of the dangers of dog bites.<\/p>\n

Sophie said: \u201cEven if it\u2019s just like a little bite from the dog, which was the case for Mum, just get it checked out.\u201d<\/p>\n
