!Happy Australia Day! Today we are happy to be sending home one of the 2 snake bite patients in hospital. Molly was bitten by a tiger snake yesterday about lunch time. Her recovery shows the importance of being vigilant - early detection of clinical signs can definitely save your dogs life! When Molly was brought in there was only the history of being around a dead snake and vomiting, no weakness of the back legs. Within 15 minutes Molly was diagnosed with blood in her urine and her paralysis has progressed. ***Note that when a snake is dying e.g. after being hit by a car, they WILL attack in defense if you or your dog or cat get too close, and a dying snake is no less venemous than a healthy one*** Mollys face reminds us of Falkor the Luckdragon in The Never-ending Story, and is just as lucky!
