Snake bite to dogs

[BitsyNaceyDog]

I know someone who had a doberman and a sheltie that were both bit by a rattle snake at the same time. Luckily the family got both dogs right to the vet and the doberman made it, but sadly the sheltie didn't.

My vet said a bit on the face is not as bad as a bite on a leg that goes into the blood supply... Maybe that was why.
They sponser snake classes here now. That is like a shock type collar on the dog, the snakes cant bite and when the dog goes at the snake, its a shock. Brutal in my opinion as far as use of a shock collar, but I will admit, this training class made femka all but runnnnnnnn from copperhead two she found in the yard... I never EVER believed in shock collars- but this training class was good as much as I hate to admit as it stopped Femka in her tracks when she saw the copperhead...
