Had both my Springers with me at my country property today. We were picking some blueberries, and my 4yr old male (65lbs) got bit by a copperhead. Hit him in the face. Probably less than 5 feet from me. Got him to the vet(about 45 minutes time). Vet gave him a bunch of shots and pills to take. He's pretty swollen and sleeping now. So we just wait and see.
I am beside myself right now. Just didn't see him before he struck. That big nasty thing ate two loads of my 38 snake shot. I'm pretty sick right now.
