When I got home from running errands on Saturday (about 12:30 pm), Lola came running around the truck to greet me.
I couldn't believe how swollen up her face was - probably 2 times normal.
She was a bit less energetic than her 10 months lab normal self. But didn't seem in any pain.
I sent a photo to a vet friend and he immediately diagnosed a copperhead bite. (Swelling, normal eyes, etc.).
A few benadryl and 2 days later and she's back to normal today (back to swimming in the pool and chewing up stuff). Most of the sweeling is gone from her face and she has a saggy neck right now.
