I hate snakes (bit 2 of my dogs, editing title to make more sense)

1 snake, 2 of my dogs got bit. One is doing fine, but at the vet overnight and has had 2 viles of antivenom. The other is critical and is working on bag 3 of antivenom. Nothing else we can do but sit here and hope.
They both got bit down by the pond, spent an hour down there looking for that bastard and nothing.
$7,000 in so far and I'm not even sure we get both our boys back. One is a German shorthair pointer, he's doing ok. The other is a Yorkie, he is not.

Maybe they can but it seems really risky

Damn, sorry to hear bro.
Kudos to you for being willing to drop $7k to save your dogs.

Here's to hoping the yorkie pulls through. If he does there's a chance he may be a super dog as far as snake bites go. I know of a Jack Russell that there probably isn't a wild snake on this continent that could take him out. He got popped the first time and pulled through with the help of a vet. The second time they just left it up to fate and he recovered fine on his own. He's gotten popped at least four times since that they know of and hasn't had any real issues. He gives every snake he sees hell now, like it is his sole mission in life.
I hope your boy makes it.

I've had quite a few dogs get popped by cotton mouths before but I've never spent thousands. I've had beagles make it through, labs always make it and has Walkers make it.
Hate to play Monday morning QB man but your pointer was almost for sure always gonna make it. Good luck with the yorkie but idk if I'd sink much more into that bud, you might be chasing your tail there man

Where you located?
I’m pretty good at finding cottons (I’ve caught 84 in the past 3 years).
And my best friend is a Yorkie.

I love blasting cottonmouths with the shotty.

7k ????...a dog dying from a snake bite seems like a honest and natural death for a dog...

You priced anti-venom lately? Have you priced it in the US and compared it to other countries? It'll piss you off when you look at the costs.

Nah invest in some mongooses

Been here with one of mine. Multiple vials of antivenin. Took a strike right on top of his head, just behind his left eye. Only thing I feel I should add, is there pet hyperbaric chamber anywhere local? Since my incident I've seen some shocking results with that treatment.
Actually, if your dog starts 3rd spacing fluids, don't hesitate to switch to hetastarch. Feel free to bring that up ahead of time lol. That's directly from my experience.

Nope. Not many rattlers around here.

It really is ridiculous, even for native species. Non-native antivenom is even higher, despite the fact that we have plenty of antivenom manufacturing in the states. What may cost thousands or even tens of thousands a vial here costs tens of dollars overseas....same antivenom, same manufacturer.

Yorkie isn't doing great, headed for another 500 bag of antivenom.
