sorry to hear that, hope she recovers well. I do not get along with buzztails.
I always remember a son in law, we were out quail hunting. He is on top of a ridge and spots about a four foot diamondback. Asks me what to do? My answer was you haven't killed it already? He proceeds to tail it down the hill towards me.
I asked him to step aside. I had a remington 1100 and dumped the magazine on said snake, reloaded and did it again.
The trouble with copperheads and cottonmouths is they don't buzz. Your first warning may be when the teeth sink in!
