Glad to hear the hound is recovering. That little bald spot will be a conversation piece in the future. I had a border collie, my first dog, that got bit on the lip by a rattler when i was a little kid. I always knew what the little bald spot was from.

I haven't seen him, but apparently his whole leg up to the chest is an oozing mess. Apparently he got a big dose.

Do I recall right that timber rattlers have a bit more toxic venom than a western? There are some up there...

Not sure, I know westerns are significantly more toxic than copperheads or moccasins.

We had a Sheltie looking dog that got bit 3 times by rattlers. First time on the nose, second on the foot and third on the neck. She survived all 3 and thrived.
Likely she developed an immunity after the first bite on the nose.
We also had another hound dog looking thing that got bit on the thigh. Fang marks were 2" apart. He didn't survive the night even after a trip to the vet.

Prayers to heal the heeler.

Canebrake venom is primarily made up of neurotoxins. Western Diamondback venom is primarily made up of hemotoxins.

So basically I'm guessing a Diamondback is what bit the dog.

My mothers in laws dog got tagged by a copperhead in the face. His head swole up big for about 3 days and he eventually got over it. Good Luck

[Dale Moser]

Baseball tournaments and a small vacation are finally out of the way, the boys are back together as of this morning. I'm sure it will do both good.
