I work as a vet nurse in a country practice, please if you want to save your beloved pet don't rely on Vitamin C, yes we have heard of it, we don't just dismiss it, yes we have treated dogs with it often for owners who cannot afford antivenene, most of them die, breaking everyones heart. Antivenene administered promptly has a high success rate and some animals do survive regardless, often a slow painfully process with the owners having to do things like express bladders for days or weeks and feed via tube. By all means give Vit C on the way(make sure you have it ready to go, minutes can make a differnce) but don't delay until your pet is too ill to save. In the advent of snake or tick I will be heading for the nearest vet breaking all speed limits.
