Its official-the warm weather is here and so are the snakes! Snake bites are life threatening for our pets so its important to recognise the signs and get help ASAP. Some of the symptoms of snake bite include: *Weakness or collapse *Shaking and twitching of muscles *Vomiting *Paralysis, starting with the hind legs *Loss of bladder and bowel control *Dilated pupils If you happen to see the snake its always great to be able to tell the vet which species it was but please DO NOT try and catch the snake! If your pet is bitten or showing symptoms of a snake bite and we are closed, there is a 24hr emergency surgery located at 102 Magill Rd Norwood.
