Newborn baby suspected of being bitten by a rat on the face

On the afternoon of September 29, Mr. Cao Xuan Diep - Chairman of the People's Committee of Son Hai commune (Quynh Luu district, Nghe An) confirmed that in the commune, a 10-day-old newborn baby was suspected of being bitten by a rat and had to be hospitalized for treatment.

The image of a newborn baby with facial injuries was shared on social networks.

According to the family, on the afternoon of September 27, the mother left her 10-day-old baby on the bed in the room and went out. A few minutes later, the mother returned and was shocked to find her child's face covered with many injuries.

“That morning, the family discovered a mouse in the bedroom. They tried to chase it away but failed, so they suspected that their child had been bitten in the face. The family suspected that the newborn baby smelled of milk and was attacked by a mouse,” Mr. Diep informed, adding that it was possible that due to heavy rains and flooding in many places in recent days, the mouse had run into the house.

After discovering the child was injured, the family took the child to the commune health station for first aid. The family then transferred the child to Nghe An Maternity and Pediatrics Hospital for examination and treatment.

It is known that the baby has many scratches on his face and legs. Especially around the baby's eyes there is a large bleeding wound.

Information about this rare incident was quickly posted by some people with pictures and information about the incident to warn people with small children to be careful to avoid similar situations.
