Prayers for you both Mickey. I lost my Lucy a couple years ago to a rattler.

I was live and let live with rattlers unless they were up around the house, the key word is was.

Mickey, no word from the vet?

Was just thinking the other day how amazing it is that the human hand is perfectly designed to fit affectionately on top of a pups head !!!!

Please try and leave a message with the on-call vet. We have to do that here in our town. The local vets rotate for on-call and they call back within 10 minutes. I am praying for Patches!

I watched my mom kill a snake with a garden ho. She left it in about a 100 pieces. ... served it right for slithering around her collie dog and kids.

Mickey - prayers sent for you and Patches (Peaches).
I've lost calves to snakebite, and consider it my job to remove every poisonous snake I come across from the living category!
A bullsnake does everything beneficial that a venomous snake can do, anyway.

What size/kind of dog is patches and was Lucy.

I have always killed every rattler I could.

Left a message last evening. Still no call.

Patches is a mongrel that my son rescued from a drainage ditch behind his church. She had gotten in the ditch and was hanging on to a stick just trying to keep from drowning. She was a little puppy when he got her.

She slept inside with me last night. Her eyes are swollen shut and she looks like a pit bull because of all the swelling. She made it through the night and is asleep on the floor beside me now. She drank a lot of water through the night but can't eat because of the swelling and pain.

I believe the old girl is gonna make it. smile

Great news Mickey, I hope she has learned her lesson and doesn't go through this again.

Get her somewhere cool. When our lab took a copperhead bite to the face she got shots from the vet within an hour. Nothing happened[swelling remained]. I put her in the basement where it was very cool the next afternoon and within a couple of hours the swelling was gone.
