This is what my vet told me when I rushed Cassie in. She said it could possibly work a little but it could only be used once and it is not a guarentee on dogs. Where she had better luck with IV's and steroids and some other drugs. BUT that coctail of stuff would render her unable to reproduce. So I had a choice to maybe not save her or almost definetly save her. She was 14 months old and it was a baby rattler - not a good combo. Baby rattlers don't have controll of their dose of venom and use it all. Amazing what you learn at those time. That little bugger didn't have any left when we got home!

I have been told that the anti venom that they use on humans doesn't work on dogs. All they do is support the dogs with I'v's and hope it pulls through. Is this true??
