Wow... Thats a trip. I've had a similar thing happen but not anywhere near as bad as his incident. My finger was like half numb for a couple weeks if not longer. Sortof hard to the touch and that was it. It eventually went away. That was about a year ago.

Few years back a guy was cleaning out his tank and had a poly rock in a bucket, his dog got ahold of it and the dog didnt make it.

they can be dangerous!
