Every Year I hear stories of pets that have been bitten by a rattlesnake. Some survive and some don't. Well, this year is no different. Except, that it seems to be starting earlier than usual. I recently read a post from my veterinarian that they already have several snake bite victims in the hospital. This is leading them to believe that this is going to be a bad year for snake bites. Dr Cliff Faver of Animal Heal Services has written a blog on rattlesnake fallacies. •Rattlesnake bites are always fatal •Baby rattlesnakes (4 comments)
