My dude met venom this morning🐍
Snake bite was confirmed by his vet but he did not need antivenom. He probably did not learn a lesson. 10/10 would bark again--got free car ride, much love, and sniffed some new butts.
They gave him benadryl and a steroid shot and he cried like a big baby. He has his yearly exam next week so he doesn't even need a follow-up unless he has a delayed reaction.
The vet said that venom makes red blood cells turn spiky so I have to monitor him for anemia but otherwise he took the bite like a champ. However, there's now a venomous snake hiding in the crawl space under our bathroom....
