The first picture we took when this patient came in. We had seen it a week prior and the owner thought it may have gotten bit by a snake or spider but didn't have the money to originally pay for treatment. We were able to shave some hair from the area to get a better look at the infected area.
You're looking at the patients left side of her neck.
This was after some stitch work. It's obvious now that it was definitely a snake bite.
Top right of the photo is the corner of the left side of the patients mouth.
Two days after the stitching. An obvious amount of dead skin needing to be cut off. The smell is horrendous. Dogs are the best though, even with all the pain she still is happy as ever to come see her doctors. Poor baby :(
Don't worry, she will be okay and make a full recovery its just going to be a long process.

What kinda snake?
falalaa
Unsure. We couldn't even confirm it was a snake bite until we put the stitches in. The owners had no information to give us.

Neat, well good job!

I'll post more as we continue to treat her. She's a sweet pibble

So. About this. The owners stopped coming in for treatments and to get the bandage changed. They won't answer our phone calls either.

Snakes are assholes. Can confirm from personal experience. Please tell doggo that it gets better and rub its belly for me.
falalaa
She'll love that! I'll give her plenty of belly rubs for you

The initial bite looks to be on the neck below the left side of the mouth.
