How Insect And Snake Bites May Affect Your Dog
Posted in Healthcare on 06/04/2009 07:30 am by adminShare:
Dogs like to play in open spaces like parks and gardens. They are particularly fascinated by unexplored places that have dense vegetation. They are completely oblivious to the creepy slimy creatures that inhabit these places. There is always a chance that these dangerous reptiles or insects may bite your dog. Look at dog shirts and puppy sweater to help prevent your dog from some of these bites.
Normally most insect bites are trivial. They don’t usually cause any harm besides some discomfort. Their effect usually lasts only for a day or two. But, if you care for the safety and health of your dog or if you feel that your dog is in quite a bit of pain, here are some tips that will teach you to deal with all these types of injuries.
When an Insect stings you dog
Very often when your dog gets stung by an insect it may just feel irritated like the way human beings feel after they get a mosquito bite. You may just notice small swelled up red spots. Both the red spots and the swelling will vanish within a day or two. But these stings or bites can prove to be very dangerous if your dog is allergic to them. If your dog is allergic to insect bites getting one can trigger a serious response which can be quite dangerous. So if your dog is showing symptoms like joint pain, vomiting, fever, swelling and diarrhea you can be sure that your dog has got an insect or reptile bite and he is allergic to the bite. In some cases puppy shampoo will help your dog escape some of these bites.
Many a times you will see that your dog feels very breathless after he has got a bug bite or sting. In this kind of situation you need to take your dog to the veterinarian immediately. Because these type of reaction is usually noticed only in dogs that are violently allergic to insect bites to the extent that they trigger a respiratory failure. In this case your dog will only be a few minutes away from death unless he is rushed to the hospital. This kind of reaction is called anaphylaxis and it requires immediate medical attention.
When your dogs gets a snake bite
Snakes often like to stay in areas with thick vegetation like bushes and trees or small rivers. They are very rarely heard or seen in open places. Make sure that your dog does not go to such places where snakes can pose a danger to your dog’s life.
Since most snakes are nonpoisonous, their bite may just give your dog or puppy slight pain for a few days. But if your dog is bitten by a poisonous snake he will get very ill.
There is some information given below about snake bites. If you go through it carefully you will learn to distinguish a poisonous snake from a non poisonous one.
Many snakes are dark colored or have stripes on their body. Such snakes are usually believed to be nonpoisonous. North America has many such snakes.
The poisonous species of snakes found in North America are water mocassins, cottonmouths, rattle snakes and copper heads. Most of these snakes can be identified by the colored stripes on their entire body. Alternatively they may also display blotchy colored patterns all over. The most common type of pattern is the diamond back which is always seen in poisonous snakes.
