Snake Bite For Dogs

[Lilred]

We dont have rattlers here, but we have moccassins, cottonmouths, ring snakes and so forth. I have (and my Pa too as fer as I know) only lost 1 dog to a snake, and the snake suffocated the dog..well..he wrapped around the beagle and "squeezed" him to death. I shot the snake 3 times with buckshot. Yeah, the first one killt him..but that wont the point.

Rattlers are probaly different..but I've always heard to tie off the spot (like the top of the leg if the dog got bit in the bottom of the leg) and take em to the vet. I caint say I've ever heared tell of any sort of anti-venom for dogs either..so what good would it do you if you did git him to a vet?
Would be interestin info fer sure..cause i sure aint got the answers..
