Snake Bites

The only poisonous snake native to Britain is the adder. These can be quite common on heath land in the summer months. Usually, fang marks can be seen to indicate that your pet has been bitten and swelling can occur very rapidly around the area of the bite.

Carry your pet or walk very slowly to avoid the poison spreading through your pet's bloods system any quicker. Contact your vet for treatment.
