What started as a family hike became a race to save Georgie’s life.
One rattlesnake bite changed everything.
Within minutes, Georgie’s face began to swell, and she struggled to breathe. She was rushed to DoveLewis, where our team immediately began lifesaving treatment with antivenom, pain management, and around-the-clock monitoring.
For days, her family waited and hoped.
Then came the small victories. Georgie started eating again. She took her first steps. And finally, she was strong enough to go home.
Today, Georgie is back where she belongs, recovering with her family and getting stronger every day. ❤️
As hiking season continues, remember to keep pets on leash, stay on established trails, avoid rocky areas, brush piles, tall grass, and downed logs, and seek veterinary care immediately if your pet is bitten by a snake.
