[QUOTE="Hippie Rancher, post: 250059, member: 4203"] Can't help with copperhead info, but have had countless "encounters" with rattle snake bites, everything from my youngest son at 18 months (why I still kill them anywhere near the house) to most dogs ever owned to cats, horses and at least dozen head of cattle over the years. Somewhere you can find a list of which animals are affected more or less than others by snake bites. All I remember is cats are one of the most immune. In my experience I have only seen one cow die from a possible snake bite. I say possible because she was also full of plastic bags and other trash (we are in a migration path plus have an interstate that bisects us, no way to get it all picked up on 22 sections!). Infection or nerve damage is the main problem with humans. I doubt I would pay a vet to treat snakebite on a cow or dog, for sure on a kid or horse, wouldn't waste money on a cat, they do fine either way (first time I paid on a cat, next time didn't - no difference in reactions/recovery) [/QUOTE]
