suggests that the survival rate for pet dogs that get bitten by deadly snakes is higher than might be expected. Of the 95 dogs analyzed in the study–all of which had been bitten by extremely venomous pit vipers–only five died.
The key to survival is getting your dog to a veterinary hospital or clinic as quickly as possible–and making sure the appropriate amount of antivenom is administered. The researchers note that a majority of envenomations documented in their research occurred during warmer months, between March and October. So, in the southeastern United States, pet owners should be aware of the heightened potential for snakebite during summer when snakes are most active. However, this trend may not be true in other areas of the country, so it’s important for dog owners to assess and monitor the risks inherent to their local environments.
