If you didn’t exactly know what a cottonmouth bite can do, let me share with you. We are very fortunate Rosie is still here with us. It’s been a whirlwind of a past week. Initially we didn’t know what had happened as the only thing she presented with was lethargy and a super hard knot on her neck that had no heat or obvious bite marks. Within a few days the necrosis process began and we were in for the long haul. I can’t thank Providence Veterinary Care enough for their welcoming arms, prompt action, excellent treatment, and great communication skills. Rosie still has a long ways to go in the healing process, but she has shown she’s one tough cookie! There must have been a reason her registered name was chosen to be Rosie the Riveter when she was a puppy! ❤️
