TRIGGER ⚠️ hiking and snake bites

As y’all know, we love our pups so this is also being posted as a friendly reminder as well as a cautionary tale.

Yesterday, we decided to go on a hike with the whole family. We stayed on the trails. The pups being pups sniffed and did their business (we cleaned up of course).

On our way back from the hike, Riley stopped to sniff as usual. He was leashed. I was right beside him. I was WATCHING him. He pulled back his face fas, pawed it a couple times and that was really the end and we kept walking. He started to act tired and not want to go which is a little unusual. So I alternated carrying him and each of my kids. When I carried him I noticed 2 spots on his muzzle.

My first thought was briars or something like that. I went to wipe it off and he helped in pain.
15 min later we were stopping to grab kids lunch. His lip was swollen a little. Within 20 min the swelling was his entire lip lower lip and under the jaw. I was able to find a vet office open close by.

Another 20 min and we were there. Another 20 min and confirmed snake bite and we had to go to an emergency vet.
Another 20 min to the other vet.
We barely got him treated in the 4 hour window.

What could I have done?
Nothing to Prevent it because we were in nature. We weren’t running wild. We were sticking to the trails. I didn’t even see the snake.
I should have trusted my instinct at the first sight of swelling and just told the kids no food or rather pack it up cause we are going. But I also used the time to find a vet so that was probably a wash since I can’t drive and internet search at the same time.
I shouldn’t have assumed him not giving a yelp when it happened to mean it wasn’t serious. That was a big mistake.

The biggest lesson though, is knowing ahead of time where the proper emergency services are for kids and dogs when you are going to potentially have an encounter with wildlife.

Thanks to Haw Creek Vet for being willing to look at him
And thanks to veterinary emergency group for having a set up that let me stay with him the whole time.

We are now on watch for complications… but I hope the worst is behind us.

Please share this with others for awareness to those who like to hike or spend time in the woods so they know what they are looking at.

Spring Day Views*4BD*Dog Friendly*SkeeBall*Hot Tub

Let’s do the math… 12 people could be 3 families. At $310 a night that means $104 dollars per family per night. Every family would have their own bathroom and everyone would be in real beds. In addition the grown ups would have their own King Bed!
To get this level of privacy from the kids you would have to book 2!!! Hotel rooms.

Add in beautiful views, hot tubs, games, movie theater and full kitchens… and I think hands down you know the right choice.

What does that mean for all y’all?
