Do you own a curious canine that likes to explore tall grassy areas and run around in overgrown bushes and shrubs? This can be common for many playful pups. It’s important, though, to keep your dog out of dense shrubs and tall grass as snakes could be lurking there. If your dog comes in contact with a snake, try to distract your dog and get him to move away from the snake. The snake may not strike unless provoked by the dog. If your dog gets a snake bite, please call your vet immediately. A typical snake bite will have the two close looking teeth marks. Even if you’re not sure if it’s a snake bite, call your vet. Knowing the types of snakes in your area can help determine if the snake was poisonous. If your dog is bit by a snake, do not try to suck out the venom or apply a tourniquet. Follow treatment instructions from your vet clinic Marion, IA.
