Snake Bite Vaccine
I was reading on a squirrel dog board about some of the guys giving their dogs snake bite vaccine. Fortunately, here in the Land of Lincoln, we do not have poisonous snakes. But, if I lived in the South or West, I would sure look into it.

Illinois poisonous snake free??????
There are only four venomous snakes in Illinois: the timber rattlesnake, eastern massasauga rattle- snake, copperhead and cottonmouth.

As far a dog rattlesnake shots, try this site:

I know that website says cottonmouths in illinois but i would be hard pressed to believe that.
Why you think there is none........heck cottonmouths even range to MO? I have lived up in IL twice before.......You'll find cottonmouths in Southern IL like in Shawnee National Forest.
I live right across the river from Ill. & we have plenty of cottonmouths here. I believe they can swim.
I've seen the darn things swim!

I don't live very far from Rex and I have been a very hard hunter all of my life. I have never seen a poisonous snake in the wild in my life. I live on a lake. It is full of water snakes but no cottonmouths. I have never had a dog snake bit in my life. My Curs will kill every snake they find. My hounds usually leave them alone. As it stands right now, I won't be vaccinating my dogs. But, Rex, you might want to spend the money to vaccinate yours. LOL.

I will add that I live in Central Illinois, I am very sure Southern Illinois has some poisonous snakes.

cottonmouths and timber are nothing to play with. they are some of the most aggressive. and cottonmouths LOVE to swim.
BTW...The vaccine offers no protection for Water moccassin / cottonmouth bites.

I was just joking about the swimming remark because I've seen plenty of them slithering through the water.
They do swim. Heck they are a water snake!

I'll say this,,,not common here ..both timber rattlers I seen came off the same 80 acres.[one in Jan.when we picked up a large round bayle of hay,,he was under it..]..east Harrison st. bridge, Charleston...near the boat ramp..done some state work around mill creek state [clarksville]park..seen several over there ..more common.one year during a long hot dry spell they closed the docks at mill creek due to the timber rattlers coming down to the water and laying in the shade of the docks..12 to 15 were sited...the 2 I seen at Harrison street were 2 foot or less not to spectacular..the ones I seen at mill creek were 3and 4 foot long ..they were bad looking dudes for sure...

I have always wondered how it is that they come up with these vaccines for dogs but they can't get them for humans. Rabies, snakebite, if they can develope a vaccine for dogs, then why not people?

What is the snake vaccines good for? If it covers rattlers then maybe its worth the money but for copperheads and cottonmouths benadryl and antibiotics are all I've ever needed for dogs.

Per my Vet
The Rattlesnake vaccine WILL help reduce the effects of bites from Copperheads & Water Moccaisins.
