This sweet pup came to our urgent care last night after being bitten by a snake. Thanks to her owner’s quick reaction and fast veterinary care, we were able to begin treatment right away and get her on the road to recovery. 🐾❤️
Snake bites can happen in an instant, especially during the warmer months when snakes are most active. If you suspect your dog has been bitten by a snake:
• Stay as calm as possible and keep your dog quiet to slow the spread of venom.
• Do NOT attempt to cut the wound, suck out venom, or apply a tourniquet.
• Limit your dog’s movement and carry them if possible.
• Seek veterinary care immediately.
Common signs of a snake bite include sudden swelling, pain, puncture wounds, weakness, difficulty breathing, or collapse.
At our clinic, we keep antivenom on hand and are prepared to treat snake bite emergencies. The sooner treatment begins, the better the chances for a successful recovery.
We’re so happy this sweet girl received help quickly and is doing well! Give your pups some extra love today and stay alert when exploring grassy, wooded, or rocky areas. 💕🐶
