Yep.
Mickey, any dog in snake country that helps keep Dimocraps off your property at night deserves the inoculations for bites.

Good luck Mickey and to her also. Keep calling the vet. Did you leave a message?
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.  I thought of Patches this morning when one of our dogs was laying beside me. It's great to hear she is pulling through.

How is she doing now? I hope she is fully out of the woods (figuratively speaking) and hopefully perhaps a bit more comfortable.

Mickey,
I'm glad to hear the good news. There's nothing that I hate more than to see an animal suffer.

Mickey,
I'm glad to hear the good news. There's nothing that I hate more than to see an animal suffer. You and me both, Bob. Thanks to all of you. I'm going in to check on her in about 30 minutes. Here's what she looked like before we went to the vet. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.myhostedpics.com/images/MColeman/patchessnakebit.jpg)

So glad we don't have to deal with those suckers this far north. On the other hand, I will trade you: our politicians for your snakes.

Whoooo son. She is all kinds of swelled up.
Is that red spot on her fore head where she got tagged? Right between the eyes?
Lucky girl. Heck, she may be developing an immunity. I think there was some crazy snake doc that used to inject a little venom into himself on a regular basis to build immunity in case one of his serpents got hold of him.
As far as learning her lesson.....well, I have a little 18-20# terrier that has tangled with a few coons. Got tore up good once. That just lit the fires. Little dummy lives for attacking raccoons now. Ain't fully whooped one yet but he's put the run on a couple and been saved from a couple more.
Good luck Peaches! We're pulling for ya!

Very happy to hear that Peaches is going to make it, now you've got to teach her to stay away from those danged snakes. Peaches is one tough pup for sure!
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

Not that size matters with regard to venom, but I think that fangs sitting more than an inch apart would indicate a fairly big viper out this way. Do you have bigguns' there? What brand are they?
Sure glad tha Patches is still getting better.

Sure glad tha Patches is still getting better. We have some big rattlers. The one that got Lucy on her left thigh had fangs over an inch apart. They are predominately Canebrake Ratters in this area but if you get down into the Florida panhandle there are some huge rattlers. Not canebrakes but not sure of the variety.
