    Default Snake bite- Update post #49 Abby better

    Abby and Nathan were bitten by a venomous snake Thursday evening. Happened so fast. Came home from exercise and Nathan face was swollen and Abby's abdomen was bruised. Took the straight to ER to administer antivenin. Did bloodwork to check their coagulation rates which were normal. Dr called at 2am to say bloodwork came back good but at 4:30 am caled tell me Nathan went into cardic arrest and could not be revived. Doctor was shocked since he was doing so well. She thinks it may have neurotoxin or a clot.

    I lost my boy. I lost my Nathan. I am devastated.

    Abby has been fighting to live and is making progress but is not out of the woods yet.

    Please pray for her and send her healing rays.
    I don't know what I'll do if I lose them both.
    The vet said I got them there within minutes of the bites but I am racked with remorse I feel such guilt ............. I should have protected them more.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Please don't beat yourself up about this, you did the best you could and rushed them to the vet. It was all any of us could have done, so please don't feel bad about "not protecting them more". Dachshunds are stubborn and sometimes there is just never enough you can do to protect them from themselves.
    Sending that Abby will pull through and to hoomom.
    Please keep us posted, you and Abby and Nathan will be in all our thoughts and prayers.
