Need prayers for our new dog Charlie

What Put is paying for this bill

LMAO. PLTR paid for it. I had to pay $5,000 last night to the vet.

They definitely take advantage of the situation.

We rescued this dog a couple months ago and with that came a promise to take care of her no matter what. I’m fortunate enough to be able to do that but it’s unfortunate how much it costs and I can see a lot of people not being able to afford it.

Holy crap!!! How scary. So glad that she is doing okay and feeling better with the antivenom.


Definitely look into rattlesnake avoidance training when things are back to normal (pic from our training).

Mel, when you first posted this years ago, I thought that was a fake ass snake.... but no, there is some poor guy out there who's job it is to put a muzzle on a rattlesnake and makes me think... I love my job, I love my job... LOL

Yep. I gave her the same look. I'm sorry Charlie.

I know a good tax guy that will write that expenditure off as a loss. PM for his contact info.

In all seriousness, I’m glad Charlie pup is doing better. That was a close one!

Wait that's real?

Shintoooo​

You are a good dude to take care of her no matter what.​

My hats off to you.​

 

[DaytonaBabe]

Wait that's real?

Yes, it's actually real They muzzle the rattlesnakes so they can't bite.

 

[Gelcoater]

Yes, it's actually real They muzzle the rattlesnakes so they can't bite.

I remember Rex posting about it long ago.
Sounds like it might be a class worth taking. I bet it’s cheaper and less stressful than a bit dog.

 

[Gelcoater]

You’re a rattlesnake trainer?

Now that o see your dog is on the mend I can have a little fun with this post.
I figured (from the post I’m about to screen shot) you were well versed in training snakes?

The question now is how are you going to write this off. Ha ha ha.

Glad the pup is well.

And while on this subject we had this "little" guy visit us in a Havasu cove last Sunday afternoon. Best guess (as he was 20' or so away) was 4' long and we were in the water (but not for long ).

 

[DWC]

Glad the pup is doing well. That had to be scary.
We did the snake training in Havasu with our GSP. The trainer said before we started that our dog wasn’t that bright and will need some extra reps. SOB he was right. He’d give him a jolt and the dog would still want to see what the snake was up to. I was easier to train.

in all fairness...take the dog to work a few times, then it becomes a guard dog, and dog food at that point is a legit write off...

After all, the dog prevented Shintoo from getting bit by a snake....

I love the dirty dog nose. I can see mischief in that one.

Yes huge improvement

 

[rightytighty]

Glad all is well.

Fwiw- we live in snake country (like lots of em). In my experience as long as the dog is 15 lbs plus AND they dont get bit on the tongue (very bad), they recover. We get annual “rattle snake “ boosters . Just had it last week. $50 per dog. Its not a cure, but buys time (makes my wife feel better mostly, I think?)

You might look into?

 

[shintoooo]

Another piece of good news is the vet called and refunded $1,400 of the charges back because they didn't have to use a second dose of the antivenom. So all in all it was $3,600 and worth every penny.

Wife and I are the same way, I honestly hate paying ridiculous prices at the vet, in fact I have spent more money at vets than I do for myself even if needed. That said, no matter what it is we will pay it because our pets are our family and once they are in our family money does not matter to assure their well being.

WOW did not know they have rattle snake boosters. Gotta check our vet out here.

 

[shintoooo]

She goes through 5-6 rolls a week

If she grows into those ears, you are screwed!

 

[DarkJuJu]

Wow after seeing a human get bit a couple of time before once on this or GDS forum I am shocked at how fast the recovery was. very happy to see the pup is doing so well!
