I didn't know if a pressure bandage would work, and she'd probably be bitten on the face or torso anyway.Īs it turns out, there's really only one thing we can do: If you even suspect your pet has been bitten, get it in the car and straight to a vet, if you can.Īlmost all vets will carry antivenom, and the sooner your pet can get treated, the greater its chance of survival, says Mark Haworth from UQ's School of Veterinary Science.

Snake venom travels through the lymphatic system, so applying a pressure bandage to the entire bitten limb can slow the venom's progress through the body to a near standstill.īut at that point - with Billie under the house with the snake - all I could think was that she was going to get bitten, and I had no idea how to treat a dog for snake bite. Treating people for snakebite is, in theory at least, pretty straightforward. "A lot of dogs will just stand about a metre back and bark at it, maybe do a bit of lunging but never actually grab it, they're just sussing it out," he says.ĭogs will often collapse, then appear to be fine, then deteriorate rapidly after a snake bite. One option I didn't think of, which Stu pointed out, was to spray the dog with the hose. I wasn't keen to go in on my belly to try to get the dog out, and at this point was left to hope Billie didn't get bitten - calling her was useless. She'd so far never killed one, but I was reminded of her partner in crime, my parents' young border collie Algie, who'd been found chewing on what turned out to be a harmless tree snake at my parent's place recently. With two little kids running and crawling about I didn't want it hanging around where I couldn't see it.īut with the dog in tow the snake paid my feebly wielded shovel and I little regard as it shot between my legs.īefore I could grab her, the dog was in under the house after it, again cornering the snake, this time at the base of one of the outer house posts. I grabbed a shovel, not to kill it but to try to steer it away from heading under the veranda. In my case, there was nothing stopping the snake making a quick getaway back into the bush behind it.īut as I approached, Billie jumped around behind the snake, causing it to bolt toward the house, with me in between. "If the dog's running around with an eastern brown in its mouth, and the eastern brown's still alive, then you're not going to approach your dog," he says.īillie's mate Algie was recently found chewing on a snake he'd killed. I asked him in retrospect, what would have been my best course of action.Īfter putting me on hold to take a call from a client with a lizard on the loose in their bedroom, he explains that if your dog or cat has already got the snake in its mouth, or if they're entangled, you need to leave it alone. If I left her, she was still in danger of killing the snake and getting bitten in the process.Ī lot of pets get killed by snakes this time of year, and what you should do if you see your pet with a snake depends on what the state of play is, says Stuart McKenzie from Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7.
It narrowly missed, but then I was unsure what to do: if I called to her again, the distraction might leave her open to getting bitten. Distracted, she turned to me as the snake struck again. Out of instinct, I called to Billie to leave the snake alone. But as I took the two steps down from the deck into the yard, a big eastern brown snake was reared back and striking repeatedly, clearly distressed by the barking dog in its face.
