Snake season is underway, and sightings have increased throughout the area. There have already been reports of both people and pets being bitten, making awareness and preparation especially important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a pet, check with your veterinarian in advance to confirm whether rattlesnake antivenom is available. Not all clinics stock it, so knowing where to go ahead of time can save valuable time in an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Your Pet is Bitten<\/mark><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Call your veterinarian or the nearest emergency animal clinic immediately before heading in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • If it can be done safely, take a photo of the snake to help with identification.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Keep your pet as calm and still as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • If possible, keep the bite area at or below heart level during transport.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    If A Person is Bitten<\/mark><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Call 9-1-1 immediately or seek emergency medical care.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Remain calm and limit movement to slow the spread of venom.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Keep the bite area at or below heart level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Remove any tight clothing or jewelry near the bite area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Do not attempt to suck out the venom or apply ice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Prevention Tips<\/mark><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Stay on marked paths when walking outdoors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Keep dogs on a leash, especially in brushy or rocky areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Avoid reaching into areas you cannot clearly see.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Be alert in warm weather, when snakes are most active.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Being prepared and knowing how to respond can make a critical difference. Taking a few simple steps now can help protect both you and your pets this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
