Hey guys Had a 4 foot dugite up near the house today.By the time a grabbed a long handled rake and shovel it went back into the bushland adjacent.

Does anyone know if there is a snake anti-venom for dugite or tiger-snakes that can be used on dogs in case an emergency. I did some research but was under the impression that you would need to get your fury 4 legged friend to a vet asap. They would administer a drip ( premixed) containing anti venom.

My dog is really quite inquisitive and im afraid that one-day she will get bitten.


Just another quick question..

I have been looking at first aid kits for humans What does everyone have when they go away to leprechaun goats vill and down south when they camp. Some kits (e.g first responder) says they cover for snake bites but when i look at the contents of kit it dosent have any syringes etc .

When purchasing a first aid kit (for human)Does the kit only allow for a temporary bandage of the snake bit area ? or is it an anti venom administered thru injection?

Anyways here is an example of a snake bite kit...
