Snake bit dog ?

[Strummer]

Glad he's doing ok!

Who ever is on perimeter snake patrol needs better training......
Might be a good idea to pick up a Dashound for this assignment.

Heck we have got 11 in 6 days leading up to his bit . Just got home from a quick trip to San Antonio let them out and got hit .

It's in the leg - it will swell a lot more than a torso hit. Mine took 2 or 3 days to heal from a water moccasin bite to the leg. The other one took a direct hit to the chest with a copperhead and within 12 hours he was back to normal.

He is all good now . First night he was moping around but now he acts like nothing happened

Mow that grass and pick up anything they can hide under.

I'm on 14 acres and all put 3 are pasture with oak trees . We keep it maintained the best we can .

For future reference - generally water moccasin bites need medical attention due to bacterial infections. They are very dirty snakes.

And rattlesnake bites will always need medical attention. My vet said their venom actually breaks down the red blood cells for several days, which can lead to death.
