Sorry for your loss, just wondering had he been getting rattlesnake vaccination and booster each year. My lab's been getting it and wondering if it really helps. Vet says sometimes it will, sometimes not.

Very saddened to hear about your dog.
Pay my way there, feed me and give me a place to sleep, and I will do nothing but kill rattlers until the cows come home. I am not an enemy of snakes, but I LOVE dogs. Stopped traffic today in a busy street and saved a terrier and a Schnauzer from certain death and got them back home to a crying Mom.
Coyotes and rattlers can all take the dirt nap as far as I am concerned.
On a side note, I had a friend tell me one of his buddie's dogs got bitten by a rattler and to save him the vet gave him a blood transfusion. Now I am not a vet, and I don't know his friend, but if this is true it would certainly be less expensive than antivenom.Last edited by cuttingedge; 06-14-2018, 01:42 PM.

Very sorry to read about your dog redfishted. We have a small poodle that loves to hunt. We won't let him out without keeping an eye on him because we fear he will come across a venomous snake.

Coyotes though... fair game
