snake bit dogs

i just bought a dog from a super nice guy in georgia, he said the dog got bit by a snake and hasnt been the same but is getting better, i would like to know do they come back around from a snake bite? ive heard from a few people they are never the same.

What kind of snake?

I have had dogs get bit by copperheads ever since I started hunting and have not seen a bit of difference in them. I have one old dog here that has been bit 6 or 8 times.

i dont remember if he said what kind of snake. i just got the dog havent hunted her much so she is still getting use to me . i just heard they dont come back from a bite . but obviously if your dog has bit that many times and still hunts', that rumor must not be true , thanks for the info . i really like this female

Had one get bit by a cotton mouth 2 weeks ago. cant even tell it ever happened. he is completely back to normal. benydril and penacillan work miracles

Cotton mouth bite two years ago and the dog was back at it in a few nights. It never seemed to change him.

glad to hear this , gives me hope with this dog

it diffently was not a rattler or that dog would be buried by now.I had 1 bit last summer took a few weeks limping around but nothing lasting

Had one get it six times one summer, then win the state hunt in September.I think every one I've ever had gets it at least once a year here. 1-11/2nd of Dexamethasone in back leg muscle ,and you'll b hunting again in 3-4 days. Miracle snakebite drug!

I had a dog get bit 2x's in one week. Copperhead! Dog got sick for about 3-4 hours, limped around for a couple days then ok. I've had a few get rattlesnake bit and it's a little harder on them but in 3-4 days pull through just fine. No after affects!!!

Snake Bite

You guys do what makes you feel good and makes you think your doing right; BUT; in reality YOU don't have to do anything!!! If a dog dies, it will be in a few minutes; if they don't die, they will be going normal in a few days,with or without medicine.

To the first post; That guy was either ignorant to to facts, or setting up an excuse to use to cover a FAULT that may arise. There will NOT be after efects from a snake bite.

had 2 bit this past week... gave them used cooking grease and never missed a night hunting them... by next day all swelling was gone and you couldnt even tell they had been bit

All this talk of snakes in the last few days sure makes me glad we don't have hardly any to deal with around here.

rattler

had my male bit in the foot swelled up aweful and rotted the hide off his foot where he got bit. gave him 3cc of penicillan everyday for a week. that was 3 weeks ago. he is great now but still missing some hide. i guess it depends on what kind of snake and i hear that dogs build an imune to snakes. i dont know.

i give my dogs dex and beynadrle. all of them are back to normal in a few days. but, i've got one dog that was bitten when she was young. now she's scard of of snakes. at night, unless she gets pulled into a hot scent, she walks thrugh the brush like a man walking through a mine field. if a stick moves she cowards. a lot of times i have to wait for her to catch up because she is so cautious walking through the bush. but she's been promoted to constant companion so it doesn't matter much.
