Summary

Copperheads, North Carolinas most common venomous snakes, cause about ninety percent of snake bites, including on pets. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and two puncture marks. Pet owners should avoid home remedies and head straight to the vet. Bites are usually not life-threatening, but antivenom is rarely given. To avoid bites, be cautious on hikes and in yards, and seek vet care if your pet shows signs of a bite. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
