Turns out the vet thinks it was one of our many Copperheads not a rattlesnake. Less Neurotoxin. I commented to the wife that she did not drool and stumble like the last dog that got bit and today she is significantly better. Vet said copperheads only have one neurotoxin and the rattlesnakes have 3 or 4. So make sense. Other than the swollen neck and obvious bite marks you would never know that she had been bit. Near normal behavior. Would have put a grown person in the ICU for 3 days. Dogs, got to love them.
