Tammin Sursok has issued an urgent warning to dog owners after her child was attacked at a dog park over the weekend.
The Pretty Little Liars actress, who now lives in Nashville, took to Instagram on Sunday to share her five-year-old daughter Lennon’s gruesome injuries from being viciously attacked by a dog.
In her Instagram Story, the former singer’s daughter appeared to have bite marks and punctures on her hands and stomach, as well as blood and bruising.
‘PSA! If your dog is not friendly – don’t bring them to an off lead dog park for families!’ Tammin, 40, wrote alongside the post.
‘My 5-year-old was sitting on the bench, didn’t even go up to the dog. Scary and unacceptable!!!’
The former Home and Away star shares two daughters, Phoenix, 10, and Lennon with husband Sean McEwen.
In December, Tammin was forced to rush her youngest daughter to the emergency room after she started having seizures.
‘I pick her up and her eyes are blank and she’s spitting from her mouth. I go to call 911 but I know it’s faster for me to get to the ER,’ the mother-of-two wrote in her Instagram Story at the time.
Once at the hospital, the medical staff revealed that Lennon had contracted Covid.
Later, the child was transferred by ambulance to another hospital specialising in paediatrics because the seizures continued, but after ‘five bags of fluid and glucose…she was able to go home.’
‘I was actually shocked it [Covid] could present like this,’ admitted the actress, before revealing it was the second time the toddler had contracted the virus.
‘She’s resting now and keep her in your positive thoughts.’
