My Lab got tagged by a copperhead tonight which kept the wife from getting bit. But if you'd be so inclined positive get well thoughts or prayers for my dog would be appreciated. The snake didn't make it.
Prayers for your pup. This is big fear I have for my dog, she's bold and we travel in rattlesnake territory. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
We just ended up with a new pup!! Definitely sending thoughts and prayers!! Good riddance to the snake!!!
My Aunt had a lab that got bit all the time. Moccasins, Eastern Diamonds, Pygmy rattlers. If it came in her yard that lab would kill it to protect the kids. She lived a long happy life fat as a tick. . Give that pup a pat on the head from all of us. Good job.
Seems to have had some venom but would been worse if it was a juvenile snake...or so I'm told be a few experts. Ironically my brother was my first call - his specialty herpatology North American poisonous snakes. Second call was to the vet but on advice of my brother the dog had already gotten a benedril.
