Snake bite on the chin,,

One of my females this morning was having a fit so i went out and sure enough she done pulled out a ground rattler out from under the dog house and it was playing dead,,,so i took her off and brought her in the house and cleaned her face up and she got hit 3 times under her bottom lip,,,shes seems to be fareing quite well,,, i'v had a eye on her all day,,, she don't act like it is bothering her to much,,,she's a tough ol bitch that acts like nothing bothers her when it comes to being hurt,,,but i'll try in post some pics if it gets like others i've seen

 

Just give her some bynadryl.

 

She will recover, what was the snake species, do you know?

Astaroth, when he was young, was biten by an Armadeira (brazilian powerful poison spider), his finger needed to be cutted off with a knife in the spot, but he was very young, something about 5-6 months, before I buy him. She recovered himself very easily.

 

Buttermilk works wonders

 

Ill save the buttermilk so i can have some buttermilk and cornbread for later lol .

 

Would that be applying or drinking, I have never heard of this one.....but sure as I sit here, if you say so , I know it does.......


Hope shes all right Ghost, keep us posted.....

 

she's doing surprisely well,,, can't hardly tell it that bad,,,but i caught it right after it happened and dosed her up on a few ol remedies i heard everyone talk about and from what i heard and it has done the trick,, so far,, i never like counting chickens before they hatch,,,

thanks ya'll ,,, right now she's doing surprisingly well and i took a shovel to the little b--tard that bit her,,,

it was a ground rattlesnake,,, we seem to have a abundance of them things around here,,, a occasional diamondback and a bunch of cottonmouths,, but nothing messes with my dogs,,

 

man on a real note,,, i'll handle and play with almost any kind of snake,,but you put a spider around me and i'll flip out,,,years ago i put on a boot to do some work out in a rice field and found out how bad a brown reclues is,,,
every since i shake my boots of any kind,,,but i'll hand you a live rattler but you put a spider on me and the fights on,,,

 

You mean, Brown Spider (Loxosceles)? Man, it's lots of pain in being biten by one of these little things... I know that, I had many kinds of spiders and scorpions in my house in the past... even some rare species...

...spiders are good animals (I prefeer spiders and scorpions than cats... I hate cats... arght!). I was bitten by spiders sometimes but scorpions never even tried, I don't know certainly why... scorpions are, generally, much more agressive than spiders, this is a funny thing, when I tell nobody believes me...

 

Here's an interesting article I found on treatment of poisonous snake bites

http://www.greatdane.co.za/articles%20-%20snakebite.htm

On a side note, my partner has used alum mixed in water as a treatment as well with good results.

 

i hate damn spiders and snakes..armadeira is the only spider that i have seen that will fight a dog and a person..big ass mean spider..it will stand on its back feet and charge you..and if you miss it ..it wont miss you..

 

You're right, it makes this spider very dangerous.

Agressive and powerful poison.

I had one, well locked of course.

 

Ya'll can keep the spiders,,, but i will hand you a live rattler to play with,,, snakes don't bother me at all,,, you can see them most the time,,, but them 8 legged little F***kers you can keep

my little ol female has about a quarter sized knot on her chin and doing better,,,i think i caught it soon enough,,,thanks ya'll for helping

 

I am glad to hear that she is doing better! Hope all is well!

 

As I said, she will recover... in the next time, just pay attention to the snake's kind... some snakes are very dangerous...

Regards.

 

amen brother...!
