Ok, now I'm a little confused. I got my first aid manual out for dogs and cats, This was written by Mark L. Anderson, DVM. He said pretty much the same thing that I posted before EXCEPT, PLEASE NOTE:" Do not cut the wound and suck out the venom.(DUH) Also, do not tie a tourniquet around a stricken limb or place ice on the affected area. ". I posted the original post to be informative and to try and help anyone with a potential problem, but now I find myself in a situation of possibly giving bad information. So people, before you follow someone else's advice maybe it would be a good thing to check with your local Vet and hear what he has to say. Keep in mind the original post was also from a Vet. It would be nice if you could get two different Vets to agree on something, but I guess they are no different than we are, if you get a group of people together, you are going to get more then one opinion. Anyway sorry for any confusion this may have created. I would not intentionally post anything that might harm someone's pet or companion. Sorry.
