If you live in area prone to black widow spiders then you definitely want to make sure you know how to identify the spider when you see it. You should also know if your home and/or yard is prone to these spiders and consult with an exterminator about treating the area with a pet friendly spider deterrent. If you think your dog has been bitten by a spider, please call your vet immediately. Spider bites can actually be difficult to identify, however, you will definitely see signs of poisoning if it’s a venomous spider like the black widow. Signs of poison may include muscle tremors, cramping, abdominal rigidity, severe pain in the back, chest or abdomen, respiratory problems, increased blood pressure, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. Some dogs may show no symptoms at all while younger or older dogs are at a higher risk. Hospitalization and supportive care along with anti-venom drugs are usually required. Learn more from your professional vet clinic Tipp City OH.
