RATTLESNAKE ALERT โ PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
Just the other day, one of our clients came across this HUGE rattlesnake - the one pictured!
With the recent increase in rattlesnake bites weโve been seeing, we wanted to remind everyone to be extra careful with your pets while theyโre outside. Rattlesnakes can hide in tall grass, brush, wood piles, and other areas around your home or property.
If you think your pet has been bitten:
๐จ Seek veterinary care immediately. Donโt wait for symptoms to worsen.
๐ Keep your pet calm and as still as possible.
๐ Call ahead so we can prepare for your arrival.
Granger Veterinary Hospital keeps antivenom on hand and is prepared to help treat rattlesnake bites when needed.
Even if your pet seems okay after a bite, they should be seen by a veterinarian right away. Rattlesnake bites can become serious quickly.
Stay safe, watch those curious noses, and keep an eye out for our slithery neighbors!
