Dexamethasone,Snakebite first aid Pearson‘s Beagle‘s
What happens in the summertime those two thing marks right there right here right here he just got hit see the swelling starting to look in his face so the first thing you want to do is off his collars the first time he’s been bent summer running that’s what happens when you run out here taking off all his cars you have to know your dogs swelling up dexamethasone
We call it dex for short and it’s high in muscle i don’t know if he’s gonna jump and try to run but if so i’m gonna have to drop this camera please stand there okay fred’s a tough dog most i’m gonna try to get away from you all right let it go big boy way to go man that’s my big boy okay he’s holding it up a little bit where we going we gonna get him back to
The to the kennel put him up i’ll give you some feedback on him a little bit later folks i’m pulling back up to the kennel fred got bit this morning it’s part of what happens down here in the south alabama georgia all these low-lying states we do have a problem with um rattlesnakes and water moccasins uh i think he was bit by a uh a timber rattler those fang
Marks were pretty wide but i uh i keep my dexamethasone on me at all times and i also gave him some lasix pills the lasix will um allow him to you know get rid of that excess fluid by urinating so uh just wanted you guys to be alone with me as i walk up to him what i guess seven hours later from the time he got bit and uh let’s see what that first aid did for
Him i can see him standing up that’s always a good sign hey fred oh boy it’s looking good he’s looking good hey man hey look at that almost looked like it hadn’t been but you can see that extra skin up under there the guys in the past i have um boy you looking good looking good bro you’re ready to run in the morning aren’t you all right we’re gonna get your day
Rest buddy uh i have a i have in the past i’m walking back to my truck y’all in the past i have a not had the decks to give them and kind of you know took a chance and that next day or four or five hours later if they’re hitting the head anywhere that hit is as big as a i mean football a small football it’s amazing what that dex does for them actually uh it
Is an anti-inflammatory it suppresses immune system i’m not a doctor but uh it gets real technical on how it works but i can tell you it suppresses it so it won’t be the effects won’t be as bad and the anti-inflammatory is what what can be an issue it really uh can at times if their airway gets um constricted from swelling that’s when they start having major
Major issues but anyway as you all can see um everything worked out well so on top of that i just forgot on top of that i also use i also have given them the rattlesnake vaccination so he has several lines of defense and that’s what i i do in order to run my dogs in the summer i just don’t put them out there you know i i spend a little money on them you know
Make sure that they have that line of the sense and go from there and just be ready if it happens these little sweat flies all over me you
