To be honest, the source of this incident was a post from a friend of the post. After the dog was bitten by a highly venomous snake, there was no pet hospital around, and the hospital purchased serum and did not sell it. If the dog only relies on the dog itself to resist snake venom, the result can be imagined. The owner of the dog is also a dog lover, constantly trying to find ways to save the puppy. As time goes on, the dog's condition is getting worse and worse. The dog's face is swollen into a big bag, blood flows out of his eyes, and the dog's mental state is also declining. I hope that the dog's life can be guaranteed in the end.
When I was a child, almost every household in our village raised dogs. At that time, the family was very poor and the money was not much, but there were a few bags of cornmeal. Adults had to go out to work and we had to herd cattle. At that time, stealing everything was very serious, and stealing rice and oil were endless. For the sake of the family's food, I raised an Chinese pastoral dog . It is said that the lifespan of a dog can last up to twenty years, but my dog is not that good. He had not survived for five years and was poisoned to death.
When I was a child, there were many snakes in the countryside, such as Bamboo Leaf Green (we were called Qingshe Biao when we were young), five-step snake (covering mountain Biao), Tiger-spotted neck-trough snake (red top), these are all very common highly venomous snakes. Less than a year after my puppy was caught, the puppy was bitten onto its thigh by Zhuye Qing. At that time, there was no pet hospital or anti-snake venom serum. The village basically used herbs. I remember that my father picked a few leaves like a round fan in the yard. After mashing it with a wooden stick, he took a piece of cloth and tied it to the dog's legs. It was fine in a few days. That incident also made me have a misunderstanding of Bamboo Leaf Green Snake , that is, I think it is not very toxic.
At that time, the price of treating a dog might be less than a cent, but now? The price for buying a snake venom-carrying serum in a pet hospital is 1,200 yuan, and it is anti-via serum. There are also some pet hospitals that do not have serum reserves at all. This is very normal. Even if the original spearhead viper bites it, the dog's wound will be swollen for a long time after using anti-via serum. Although it is effective, the effect may not be so good.
In fact, the dog itself carries a certain ability to resist snake venom, but such resistance seems to be overestimating its ability in front of highly venomous snakes. Moreover, it takes a certain amount of time to feel that the dog is bitten by a highly venomous snake. Unless you are on the scene, otherwise it will usually happen five to six hours later when you find out. The main reason is that when the dog is bitten by a snake, although the dog will become more irritable, because of the obstruction of the hair and the position of the bite of the snake is in the mouth of the dog, where there is less flesh and blood, so the swelling level is not too serious. By the time we can see it, it is basically five to six hours later. By that time, the snake venom has spread to the whole dog's body, so when we discover, dog poisoning is almost always serious.
How to say, dogs are very loyal to people, and after a long time of companionship, they almost treat dogs as family members. So, finally, I hope this dog will be safe and sound in the end.
