valerio 32 Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 yesterday morning I had my terrier out for a walk in the woods near my house when I noticed him walking like a drunked man and with some blood on his nose.I looked at him and I was sure he was bitten by a viper (vipera aspis)the only poison snake living here in Italy.I. drove to the vet like a man possessed but when I arrived there the dog looked like he has no hopes he was pissing blood and his muzzle was so deformated that he looked like a bulldog. he has fighted for life for 30 hours but one hour ago he get up on his leg and drinked some water.He is not yet out of danger but is a tough guy and the vet thinks local foxes will know more about Tappo Quote Link to post

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 F***, that's grim, mate! A nightmare that could just happen to anyone, any time too. Hope to f*** the little bugger comes through alright. It's bad enough when a Dog goes down doing what he lives for, but to fall victim to some freakish bloody mishap's terrible. I was reading recently how a mates Dog got bit by a Black Widow spider, of all things. That one was treated asap and made it. Sounds like yours will too. We're all rooting for him, mate. Let us know Quote Link to post
