🐍 ADDER BITES 🐍

If your dog has bitten by an adder, their symptoms will depend on where the bite is, and where the venom spreads to. If the venom stays in the tissues around the bite, it will cause pain and swelling, but if it spreads further and gets into the bloodstream, it can cause much more serious problems such as damage to the liver, kidneys, heart and nervous system. If venom is injected straight into the blood stream, it can cause death very quickly. It can also be very serious if your dog is bitten on the face or neck because swelling can lead to breathing problems.

With treatment, most dogs make a full recovery, but sadly, in some cases, adder venom can cause severe illness and even death. The quicker your dog is treated, the better their outlook. Any dog with a suspected adder bite should be seen by a vet ASAP.

What to do if your dog is bitten?

1. Stay calm
2. If you see the snake, try to remember what it looks like, or take a photo from a distance. Do not try to find the snake, get close to it, touch it or harm it. (Adders are a protected species so it is illegal to hurt or kill them, and they can bite people if disturbed.)
3. Keep your dog as still as possible to prevent venom spreading around their body
4. Leave the bite alone, don’t apply a bandage or tourniquet.
5. Call you vet to let them know you are coming down to the practice
6. If possible, bring a car to your dog or depending on their weight, carry them to it.

Snakebites should always be treated as an emergency - if your dog has been bitten, call your vet straight away. Do not attempt to treat your dog at home.
