My Catahoula is recovering but sure looks bad.

He's well aware of snakes and alerts to ones he comes across. He'll stop and look at me until I come see what he's found. He's done this at least 4 or 5 times on snakes he finds. Friday was cold and overcast so I guess he was checking irrigation pipe for rabbitts when he stuck his head in and got hit.

I found him on front porch with a bloody nose and not feeling very good. Fang marks on both sides, figure he got a full dose of venom. Got him to vet where he stayed overnight. Brought him home yesterday and have to keep him quiet for a while.

Have had other dogs bit before but not this bad. He's eating well and his usual happy self but I can tell he's not feeling very good.

Good boy Dozer.

Rattlesnake? I've had beagles bitten by copperheads before but never a rattlesnake. Good luck to Dozer!
 
I keep both of mine vaccinated for rattlesnake bites, and I think it also helps with cottonmouth and copperhead. Hope he get to feeling better, I'll be on the lookout now, of course we got snow night before last.
