Luke killed copperhead number 11 last night when he came home from work. There it was sitting right on the driveway by the back gate, and luckily he was able to get this one. I am so waiting for cold weather...If your dog ever gets bitten by a poisonous snake, administer Children's Benadryl (1/2 a tablet for a puppy, and a whole tablet for an adult.) Then get pain medication and antibiotics from your vet. They come through the copperhead bites pretty well with this treatment. I administer another Benadryl in 8 hours and that usually takes the swelling down pretty well. If there is still some swelling after another 8 hours I give one more Benadryl. I usually don't have to give more than 2 or 3 and the swelling goes away.
