Are these snakes protected? What treatment do dogs get for snake bites from the vets? Best of luck with little dog. 1 Quote Link to post

Best of luck with little dog. They are protected but can be killed if are an imminent danger to people or pets.Anti venom,days in vet . 1 Quote Link to post
Aussie Whip 4,098 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Thanks fellas she's better this morning but still some bleeding because I didn't think she had been bitten till hours later and venom had started to do damage,so be in vets a while.I think you should assume their bitten if they have killed a snake although she has done this many times.Hope I didn't leave it too long. 1 Quote Link to post
Aussie Whip 4,098 Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Looks like she's pulled through,bleeding's stopped and her bloods clotting again.Vet was amazed the amount of venom she took and still on her feet, wagging her tail,never seen this before on any size dog.Doesn't surprise me, she's a mighty Russell. 7 Quote Link to post
Str 793 Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 That’s good news,can you not keep anti venom at home for you and dogs?. Quote Link to post

The stuff is $1000 plus a hit and has a shelf life.If I get bitten I'll stay still as possible and ring an ambo.Thats why I don't hunt in Summer ,plus the heat.These b*****ds came in the house yard from the creek on the place,not much you can do.Was going to get above ground runs but you still have to let the dogs out often. 1 Quote Link to post
