Passive Immunity & Acquired Immunity ,
If a dog is bitten by a venomous snake and requires antivenin treatment, the recommended course of action is to seek immediate veterinary care. Antivenin treatment should be administered by a veterinarian as soon as possible to counteract the effects of the snake venom and increase the chances of a successful recovery for the dog.
That depends on several factors - where on the body was the bite, how much venom was injected, the age and general health of the person bitten, etc. Without prompt medical treatment with antivenin, death could come in a few hours or may be prolonged for several days. With proper treatment, deaths are rare, however.
The only treatment is the prompt administration of antivenin.
Most bites can be cured with antivenin treatment.
