Anti-venom offered

By Reading Time: 1 minute
At Living Free’s veterinary facility Oct. 1, veterinarian Dr. Lindsay Crowley demonstrated how she would respond to a dog with a rattlesnake bite. Here on Jade, she shows how she would insert a needle into the dog’s vein to start the flow of the Venom Vet anti-venom from an attached IV. Owners of snake-bitten dogs should call Crowley at 951-444-1VET (1838) and Sharon Caughron at Living Free, 951-659-4687. If possible, then administer benadryl (liquid children’s benadryl). Keep the dog cool with ice packs and apply alcohol or ice on the feet. Try to stay calm on the drive to Living Free. The dog owner won’t need to pay for the anti-venom, only for Crowley’s veterinary services, and, hopefully, a donation to Living Free. Photo by Kathy Keane
