Juvia had a fight with a copperhead yesterday. She had to get antivenin and a blood transfusion but she got to go home and is looking better today. At first her bite didn't seem too bad but I noticed her neck started having some swelling, so immediately I took her collar off and got her to our vet. Vet said it was one of the worst she seen all year so it was good we went with our gut and got her in.
Remember even with a thorough check of the yard the unexpected can happen, especially if your yard is in the country or suburbs.
