Mikey is doing good today. The swelling has gone down some. He's acting fairly normal, was out barking in the woods last night.

poor mikey, so glad he is doing better. I've had dogs and one cat bitten by copperheads over the years and finally the vet just had me make a snake bite kit which contained Benadryl or chlortabs or some other antihistamine and prednisone to give them for 2 or 3 days. everyone has come out of it ok so far. but I've never had a dog or the cat develop an abscess from a bite tho, that has to be painful.

Our Rita (chihuahua mix) was bitten by copperhead on the face over 3 years ago. Still has a small scar. She was one sick puppy! So glad Mikey is doing better!

Mikey is doing a lot better. The swelling has gone way down. Was really worried about the wounds themselves they looked awful. But, he has been on 1000 mg of antibiotics per day, and they look better.
We had seperated Angel because we were worried that she would be "playing" and hurt him, but we put her back with him yesterday and he seemed real happy about that.
