Snake Envenomation in Dogs and Cats
(Con impuestos)
Each year thousands of dogs and cats are presented to veterinary clinics following snakebite. In many cases the diagnosis is simple, but in some there are numerous differentials that need to be considered. The main snakes in Australia that envenomate dogs and cats are brown snakes, tiger snakes and black snakes. Notably other snakes such as copperheads, death adders, taipans, whip snakes, white lipped snakes and others are less common causes of serious problems. The red-bellied black snake is a significant species that dogs frequently encounter. The predominant clinical signs in dogs and cats are snake species specific but may be neuromuscular paralysis, coagulopathy, haemolysis and myopathy. This webinar aims to summarise current best practice for snakebite management.
