You were great on both counts - ID'ing and eliminating the serpent quickly and taking good care of your dog. Next to certain rattlers in some conditions, Copperheads are about as hard to see as any snake when in cover like that. I prefer them on green grass - but they don't seem to spend much time there.

We've had several dogs bitten and none have had permanent damage from the bites. I should say I assume they are copperhead bites, only saw the after effects. The bite area would swell up for a while and eventually it would go away. Dogs would take it easy for a day or two then go back to doing what they do. We only gave them antibiotics. My brother had a dog bitten by a water moccasin earlier this summer and it is doing well but it had a much rougher time the first couple of days.

Must have hurt as she was limping very badly. Of course I scooped her up and ran for the truck. In the end She had some swelling and her belly turned black and blue for several days but in the end she just had a bit of scarring around the bite sites. Like yours my vet shot her full of antibiotic and told me to buy some benedryl on the way home. Probably the most serious risk was me having a coronary jogging about a mile with a 70 lb dog in my arms. Hope your pup recovers as well as mine did. Last edited by bangeye; 08/21/15.

Scared the schidt out of both of us! Buster's snake trained, but unless you see them, they can get you. He was more spooky for weeks after that. I took that one's head off too. Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla!
