rattlenake bite on friends dog

My friends dog before the rattlesmake bite and after.

 

I hate that he got bit,it looks bad.Is he going to pull through or did he not make it?

 

as far as I know heas doin a lil better since been seen by vet. Rattlesnakes are pretty common in west texas , luckily they got somee medical attention pretty quick. The dog was still active, but they had to keep him calm as much as possible. I guess to prevent increas in circulation...well see, I ll keep yall updated.

 

damn shame about the dog. i hope he will be OK that brindle color is my favorite to look at.

 

DAMN:eek::eek::eek::eek:, THAT SUCKS, I HATE TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS DOG......WE WISH HIM A SPEEDY RECOVERY.......WOW LOOK AT HIS FACE....DAMN

 

He will most likley live! if they get bit on the head most live. Its when they get bit some where else you lose them. I had a great dog I got from J.Hand she was killed by a cotten mouth she was bit in the body. I went out to feed and she never came out of her box so I went up to her and saw her bloted up . and whe I pulled her out That bastered was in there with her and allmost got me. Tell your friend to check under all his dog boxes often. Thats where they like to hide.

 

DANG J a dog from hand im jealous. you knew the best guys.

 

Brutal! Poor guy.

 

Damn that is jacked up!!!!Hope he feels better

 

wow! I thought the after pics were of a Sharpei until I read the text! OUCH! Hope he pulls through!

 

He should pull through,but from time to time the spot where he got bit at may leak.We have an old boy that went through that,was saved by a good man that knew his stuff,he still acts like a pup.Cut your boy seems to have a strong well,good luck with him,he'll be ok

 

hope the dog is all right just wondering is that an alligator bred dog? nice looking dog

 

Yeah, hes a direct son off PARK SON ; hes a big dog

 

I thought so good looking boy

 

WOW!! what did they give him for the bite , or what did they do ?:confused:
In Alberta they have rattle snakes Too. I go out that way a lot!! they are worse in the coolies/ravines.

 

I beleieve they gave a lil DEX, some agricillin and some other anitbodies (unsure). Plent of fluids , plenty of care.

 

Thanks never hurts to know in case your far away from vet help ,or Know what you can do to slow the poisons. Especially if you hunt in remote areas!

 

GOD DAM lucky i dont live where I have to worry about snakes. Hope he pull threw. So the next time wont hurt him as much.

 

Dang - sorry to hear about your friend's dog. I to live in rattlesnake country and worry. Just a FYI - Did you know there was rattlesnake shots you can get? The Vets by me started to give them about 3 years ago. They aren't a guarantee, but they help build the dogs resistance against the venom and increase the chances of survival. They aren't cheap - mine run $50 per shot. First time administered requires 2 shots - then just an annual booster. My dogs have been getting them every year since the Vets started offering them.

In my area they appear to be working. My Vet recently had a dog rushed it with 3 bites - head, side, leg - and survived.

 

i would go to the feed store and get some penicillin and give 2 cc`s in the mouth one if my dogs looked like that and after giving him penicillin the next day it went back down he was just fine
