After having two bit last spring, I stocked up on Dex. Just remember guys, the Dex is not a cure for the snake bite, you still need to treat the underlying emergency of the venom. Give 25mg Benadryl and Cephalexin ASAP!!!! The Dex is great for helping break up the edema trapped in the soft tissue, but the benadryl will be the most useful when given as quickly as possible.
If the dog has any signs of airway constriction, haul A$$ to the vet's office! The dog can be saved if you get there in time. Most deaths on snake bites occure from airway constriction secondary to swelling, not the actual poision. Hope this helps and good topic guys!
