[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 249726, member: 4362"] Had a calf get bit in the leg. Leg (ankle) swole up pretty good and ran fluids for quite some time. He eventually healed on his own. Most snake bites are dry bites. Only about 30% of the bites are venomous. That's not to say there will not be some venom. But a venomous bite is where the snake pumps you. This occurs when he is hunting for food or when some knit whit is messing with him - usually under the influence of alcohol - this is why 90% of snake bites in humans occur in either the hand or the face. Last summer, the cost of treating a rattlesnake bite was around $28,000 in our area. So its best to either leave him alone or kill him - unless you are a liberal environmentalist who wishes to end grazing and logging on public lands. If this is the case, its best to put your head as close to the snake as possible and listen to Mother Earth. She WILL speak to you and impart some divine wisdom in your soul. ;-) [/QUOTE]
