🐍Snake bite survivors! 🐍

Henry and Nala have both recently been treated for snake envenomation at NEVS, requiring snake antivenom and 24 hour ICU care in hospital. The good news, is both had a full recovery and have gone home to their families.

These dogs are from different households but both were bitten by snakes in their backyards. Nala was found with a snake but Henry wasn't and he first indication he was unwell was when he developed vomiting and discoloured urine.

Because snakes bites can occur when dogs are unsupervised and the snake can often escape, it is important to know the signs of snake bite in pets.

Signs include:
❌ Sudden weakness followed by collapse
❌ Shaking or muscle twitching
❌ Vomiting
❌ Loss of bladder and bowel control
❌ Paralysis
❌ Bloody, red or black coloured urine.

If you think your pet has been bitten by a snake you should
✅ Keep them calm and quiet and take them to a vet immediately.
✅ If your pet has discoloured urine and it's easy to collect a sample, bring it in too.
❌ If you find a bite mark , do NOT wash the wound or apply a tourniquet
❌ If you find a snake, don't try to catch or kill it.

Chances of recovery are much greater if your pet is treated early, with some pets making a recovery within 48 hours. Pets left untreated or with delayed treatment have a much lower survival rate and many die.

If you are worried your pet may be been bitten by a snake, you can call NEVS on

Why does every vet clinic warn about the dangers of toxic and poisonous items around Easter?

This is why.
Across our 4 hospitals, SASH 24/7 Emergency saw a whopping 99 cases of pets who had ingested a toxin, poison or foreign object. A large number of these cases were dogs, who had eaten toxic foods (chocolate and grapes/raisins/hot cross buns) and non-food items (toys, rat bait, batteries, medications, sanitary products), as well a couple of cats who had been exposed to lilies, and a number of rabbits who ate chocolate and chocolate wrapping.

An interesting fact to note is that these are only the cases in which owners witnessed the ingestion. It excludes cases which were investigated and later discovered to be one of the above reasons.

If you suspect your pet has eaten something it shouldn't have, please bring them to SASH North Ryde, Western Sydney, Central Coast, or Adelaide immediately. We are open 24/7, each and every day, and are well equipped to deal with all holiday hazards.
