got 2 around here a 6 ft and a 4 ft. 4 ft mean as hell. Havent seen a chipmunk or another snake in 18 monthsI have a 3' plus king snake that lives about 15' from my back door. I haven't seen him in about two years, but, there is a fresh shed skin yesterday.
I'll try to snap a photo.
Treatment recommendations have changed a lot through the years, but I thought they had come back around to recommending use of a tourniquet.If you’re on Facebook, join the National snakebite support page. They have some good info for unified algorithms of treatment, both for people and pets.
The Benadryl myth has been floating around lately and it’s simply not indicated for envenomation- neither for people or pets. There is no histamine reaction in a pit viper envenomation.
Never use a tourniquet.
Time is critical- the sooner antivenin is administered, the better.
Don’t really need to try to identify the snake unless in an area with coral snakes as the same antivenin is used for all North American pit vipers.
As many of the others have said, there is no effective snake bite “kit.”
No ice.
Simply put, get to the hospital as fast as possible.
