oh yes the diffrent venom.John, if i see him again i will ask. i suspect he will say that the treatment stays the same. for the simple practical reason that more often than not the owner of the dog wasn't with the dog when it got bitten. so no idea what it was. come to think of it maybe this is one of the reasons he prefers a non discriminating treatment such as the electric method. treat s-bites with the wrong anti-venom and death is a sure thing. maybe this side steps that problem?
this is not limited to dogs/pets, i know he has treated cattle as well.
Ah, of course the snake will often not be identified. I didn't think of that.
Living close to the Arctic Circle, I have not had to worry much about poisonous reptiles! We have one poisonous snake here in Sweden, but its venom is not very potent -- barring an allergy, you are safe if you are bigger than a meadow vole!
