🌟 Snakebites – What To Do If Your Pet is Bitten 🌟
🐍 Snake season is here, and bites can be life-threatening for your pet. Knowing what to do could save their life.
⚠️ Signs your pet may have been bitten:
🔹Sudden weakness or collapse (sometimes followed by seeming recovery)
🔹Tremors, twitching or loss of coordination
🔹Dilated pupils or difficulty blinking
🔹Vomiting
🔹Paralysis or trouble breathing
🚨 What to do if you suspect a snakebite:
✅ Keep your pet calm and as still as possible – movement spreads venom faster
✅ Take them to the nearest vet immediately (do not wait for symptoms to worsen)
✅ If safe, note what the snake looked like, but never try to catch it
⏱️ Time is critical – early treatment can save your pet’s life.
