Did my dog get bit by a copperhead?

Anybody ever had a dog that was bitten by a copperhead?

Damn, that sucks. Hope the pup recovers.

My Brother in law's lab has been bitten a couple times...on the face and recovered every time. Benadryl seems to help.

Copperhead bites won't kill a dog 95% of the time....

A rattler will kill a dog 90% of the time.....


Always keep Benadryl pills on hand during summer months.

I’m not on FB these days, but when I was, I followed National Snakebite Support. They have a few of the leading doctors and veterinarians on there when it comes to snakebites. Lots of good information. If you’re on FB, I’d recommend following them.
