snake bite
Sent to Pet Experts July 03 01:21 PM

I believe my 2 year old boxer has been bitten by a venomous snake, most likely a copperhead. We live in the country.. and all vets within 100 miles are closed for the holiday. I cannot find any puncture wounds, however his hind leg is swollen to 3x normal size. He has full range of motion but will not bear any weight on it. Any suggestions as to how I can help him?
