My area has a high amount of brown snakes around, only last week i walked into the garage and there was one laying across the doorway to the house! i was so thankful it was me who stumbled across it and not my partner or the dogs! , i just relocated it to the bush a few kms away... i think its very cruel when ppl kill them for coming into their homes.. and its also illegal!
in regards to antivenom, what does a vet usually charge to administer this treatmen?, I have been told its only a few hundred dollars.. but a few years ago my mum's cat was bitten by a tiger snake and the poor cat made its way back to the house and was laying on her bed and had wet herself and was laying in abad way.. anyway she took the cat straight to the vet and the vet basically said its $1800 to administer the antivenom, or she can be PTS...
my mother was unable to afford the antivenom, so im wondering.. is it that expensive normally?? or was the vet she went to just a prick!
