Paris Hilton got no love this week from her pet kinkajou Baby Luv — in fact, the raccoon-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. Ms Hilton was “frolicking” with the kinkajou, a small, nocturnal rainforest mammal when it bit her on the arm.

The pet, called Baby Luv, sank its teeth into the socialite’s flesh while they were playing at 3 am at Hilton’s Hollywood home. Hilton was frolicking with her exotic pet early Tuesday morning “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.
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.
