As you may already know, my spinger spaniel Bella was bitten by a snake today at the country park. Its not something that you see every day therefore, just wanted to let you all know what to look out for. she had limped home but within 15 mins of getting back her leg had swollen to twice the size and was very painful. I have done a canine first aid course so knew this wasnt right so took her straight to the vets. They have confirmed that she had been bitten by a snake, had she not been seen as soon as she was it could have been fatal if left. So far she is doing well although i do have to keep an eye on her over the next few hours for any signs that the venom has spread. So please keep an eye on your dogs and have any injuries checked out straight away. I will keep you updated.
