On my list for next year...they can be a game/life changer. My sister runs an HRD dog in Oregon...I will have her send me her complete list and post. All the suggestions have been great...packing a kit for my dog is similar to what I pack for my human kids...my dog is like another child in my opinion... I don't mind the extra weight to make sure I am ready to save her life :tup:

Quick clot or new skin for cuts. I talked to a grouse hunter this year and he said his dog died from a rattlesnake bite because he was way up on top of the mountian and by the time he got down and then drove all the way into town the vet didn't have any anti-venom by then it was too late so i'm not sure if you can buy and carry anti-venom or not but always on my mind.
They have a shot you can get for your dogs for rattlesnakes. Supposed to help if they get bit.

Pliers
Last season my dog came limping back from a retrieve and had a russian olive type thorn literally in the bottom and out the top of his upper paw around where the joint is and above the pads in the foot. Without a good multi tool we would still be out there... luckily the thorn and the wilderness first aid thorn removal didn't damage anything.

Wow.. no long term damage? That had to hurt.

In all seriousness I hope you all don't have to test how well they work. I think if I lived on the eastside I would give it to my dog. I had never heard of it before this thread. How did you dogs react to the vaccine? Have they been around long? Cost?
Post by: huntnfmly on May 28, 2021, 02:30:25 PM
I just got my dog her first dose of the rattler vaccine a few days ago, two total about 3-4 weeks apart. Hope we never have to find out how effective it is.I had never heard of a pre bite vaccine before my vet said anything sounds like a good thing and yes hopefully never have to find out how effective it is

You guys realize they put tracking and mind control devices in those vaccines :rolleyes: :chuckle:😂

It sounded like my vet just started using it and was reasonably priced but may have been around a lot longer?

Only $39 a dose (x2) up front, then once a year after that. She seemed fine, no reactions to it.👍

Did you get the list from her?? I would love to see it. This would be a pretty good thread to pin. I do carry a first aid kit, but wondered if I had the right items in it.
On the rattlesnake vaccine. Over a decade now. At first my Vet said he only saw TWO dogs that were vaccinated. One looked like he NEVER met the snake. The other looked like he NEVER met the vaccine.
These days, his opinion is do it. $30 for the initial shot, plus a follow up in six months. Then $30 a year.
Cheap insurance.

My girlfriend's vet recommended getting the rattlesnake vaccine for her dog while she lived in Texas for a few months. I will be getting it for my dog for sure for hunting the banks of the Columbia. $30 is cheap for something like that for how prevalent snakes are!Pack to carry out dog?

I asked my vet about the rattlesnake vaccine, we had 3 pups and the mama get bit last year. He said the vaccine only buys you a few hours, you still have to get the antidote, even if they are vaccinated.

On average, the doctors at The Drake Center treat one snake bite per week in peak rattlesnake season, between the months of May and September. Thankfully, a preventative vaccine is currently available for dogs—but is it a good fit for your family?
This vaccine—given in two doses one month apart the first year, followed by an annual booster— stimulates the immune system to generate protective antibodies against rattlesnake venom. These protective antibodies function by neutralizing the venom in the case of a bite. After vaccination, dogs are reported to experience less pain and have a reduced risk of permanent injury from rattlesnake bites. Testing has been performed to show that serum from vaccinated dogs and other animals neutralizes venom from a number of species of Crotalus found in the United States.
It is essential to note, however, that the vaccine does not eliminate the need to seek emergency veterinary care after the pet is bitten. Even a vaccinated dog may still go into shock and need lifesaving medical care, including an injection of antivenin to neutralize the toxicity of the venom. The vaccine also does not provide protection against venom from the Water Moccasin (Cottonmouth), Mojave Rattlesnake or Coral Snake.
Treatment for rattlesnake evenomation involves:
-Treating for shock with intravenous fluids, pain medications and steroids
-Treating the wound with topical therapy and antibiotics
-Testing and treating for coagulopathies (trouble clotting the blood)
-Administration of intravenous antivenin and monitoring for anaphylactic reactions
-All pets will need to be hospitalized and most pets will need 24-hour care at an emergency hospital even with the vaccination.
How old do the pups need to be before getting the snake bite shots?Methow vet says 4 months. https://www.methowvalleyvethospital.com/rattlesnake-vaccine-faq.html
