|  OMG My Yorkie got bite by Rattlesnake!!!! I let the dogs out in the back yard and before I knew it a rattlesnake that was on my back porch had bitten my Mogee!!! Cannot believe that snake was curled up on my back porch!! Mogee is the most friendly of my 3 and was clueless to what was going to happen to him. I had given al the dogs the rattlesnake vaccine but the snake had hit a real vascular area around his ear. He was screaming when I realized what had happened. I had to gather all the dogs up cause they were investigating the snake and it was horrible. I did not know how effective the vaccine would have been but Mogee was bleeding so bad I knew he had to see the vet ASAP. I flew 90 mph down the road..(country road) and within 10 minutes he was in shock. The vet immediately started all the pro call for him and that included anitvemon. She said that if rattlesnake strike main vascular area then the antivenin does not have a chance to work. She says he is not out of the woods yet so I am believe for complete recovery. Suppose to call back after 4. Wanted everybody to know and pray. |

| I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member  | Oh my how scary, glad you were able to treat fast, sending prayers your way. Don't know if it's true, but I've heard if you have a few king snakes on your property, they help keep the rattlesnakes away because they eat all the stuff the rattlesnakes would eat and a king snake isn't poisonous.

| Oh my goodness what a scary thing to happen I will say prayers for Mogee that he pulls through this. I am so glad you were right there and saw what was happening. Your quick thinking and speedy trip to the vets most likely saved your baby's life.

| I thought I was safe giving them the rattlesnake vaccine but if the vemon goes into a vascular area then it not a for sure thing. I cannot trust my backyard. We are in the country so it is on leash outside from here on. Coyotes and now rattlesnakes!!!! I have had dogs all my life and never had a rattlesnake encounter. My avatar has his picture |
