🐾 Here are a few tips to help protect your pets:
🌱 Stick to paths when walking and avoid long grass and dense bushland.
🏡 Keep your yard tidy by removing long grass, woodpiles and other potential hiding spots.
👀 Keep an eye on your pets when they’re outside, especially in areas where snakes may be hiding.
⚠️ Know the signs of snake bite. Symptoms can include sudden weakness, wobbliness, lethargy, vomiting, changes in urine colour, bleeding from unexpected areas, collapse or paralysis. Signs can vary, and you may not see a bite occur.
🚨 Suspect a snake bite? Every minute matters!
Keep your pet as calm and still as possible, carry them if you can, and contact your nearest vet immediately. Do not wait for symptoms to appear.
