Paris Hilton bitten by pet

Paris Hilton got no love this week from her pet kinkajou Baby Luv – in fact, the racoon-like animal bit her.

The heiress was not badly hurt but did visit a Los Angeles hospital casualty unit to receive a tetanus shot, her publicist, Elliot Mintz, said.

Hilton was frolicking with her exotic pet in the early hours of Tuesday “the way some people play with their cats and dogs” when the animal became excited, Mintz said.

“Baby Luv bit her. It’s a superficial bite on her left arm,” he said.

Hilton, concerned that she was bleeding, called Mintz at 3am, and he took her to the hospital.

“She was seen by a doctor, who treated the wound, gave her a tetanus shot, cleaned the wound and applied something to it,” Mintz said.

The 25-year-old Simple Life star and her publicist left the hospital around 5.30am.

Mintz said Hilton’s arm did not appear to be swollen the next day. She also felt well enough to continue promotions for her highly-anticipated debut album Paris.

Baby Luv was checked out by a vet on Wednesday.

“I don’t view kinkajous as aggressive animals. The same kind of thing could have occurred with a German shepherd,” Mintz said.
