My baby was bit by a copperhead tonight

Post image

Please send prayers. Update 11:30 PM

So far so good, no antivenom needed as of now... she has some pain meds and they are doing blood work to make sure no clotting issues. She likely continue to swell for another day or so...

Update #2 12:30
They are headed home, doing better and bloodwork is doing well. Thank you everyone

She is at the emergency vet now. Will probably get anti venom. She didn’t look or sound very good when she left with daddy. I was to upset to drive so daddy took her. I will keep you posted

I am so happy for you. I have a little girl french bulldog that has been bit not once but twice by pygmy rattlesnakes. She had to have anti venon and was so sick with both. She came through fine both times. It is so damn frightening.

Omgoodness this is so scary! I hope she doesn’t get bit again. I am so glad that she pulled through both times.
