moosmum Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Just a warning that though we are into autumn,the snakes are still active.Please be alert. I have just heard of the death of one of my pups at only 5 months old.She was visiting a farm for socialisation with the animals when her owner said "she went nuts,knocking down an 11 year old girl.We didn't know what was happening till we saw she was killing a snake. I got it away from her and checked her out to find she had been bitten twice. I got her into the car and phoned the vets while I drove. She started fitting and passed away just as we finaly arrived at the vets." RIP Ziva I hate it when that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjelkier Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 My pack found a huge brown in our yard a few weeks ago, thankfully no one was bitten (thank god for a good recall!) RIP little Ziva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinbcs Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 An 11 year old bitch I bred was bitten by a red belly on the outskirts of Sydney last weekend. She thankfully has survived after a week in the vets and an adverse reaction to the antivenene. Her granddaughter survived after spending a week in the vets following a brown snake bite 6 months ago. Their owner has had a very expensive 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake catcher Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I am getting calls everyday about snakes and snake sightings. Normally they have slowed by now but the IndianSummer has kept themaround a bit longer. Sorry for the loss of the pup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
