Whew! I am sooooooo glad Koda is back home!!! Did the vet say all will be okay...no lasting effects, etc?

You know, black widows come in all forms...some have the red hour glass, some are just solid black, some have a white dot or square shape, some even have a yellow color. I had to research this awhile back...it was scary to know that there were so many different kinds, but they all pretty much look the same.

I was also told that spraying won't kill black widows or brown recluse spiders...UNLESS it gets directly on them. I don't know if this is true or not, but that is what the pest control guy told my mother when they sprayed her office.

We live in the deep country too and have many terrible pests.....I know we found a black widow by the pool and we sprayed with some sort of spray that DH had to mix in his pump sprayer. After we sprayed the deck, we did find a HUGE black widow dead, so it must have gotten directly on it?!

Last year, my nephew was bitten (from what they thought was a widow) while they were on vacation. He never said anything about hurting, but my sister notice a bump that keep getting worse...then, he couldn't move his arm....then it moved into his neck. They got him to a hospital and had to start iv treatments....it was horrible!

Anyway...glad to hear that all is well!!! Give that precious baby big hugs and kissies from us here!
