Survival after a copperhead bite without treatment is generally possible, as their venom is relatively mild compared to other venomous snakes. However, it can still cause significant pain, swelling, and potential complications. The severity of the bite and individual health factors play a crucial role, but untreated bites can lead to serious health issues or complications over time. It is always best to seek medical attention promptly after any snake bite.
they say grown people can survive the bite without treatment. just today i was watching a video of a man who had been bitten showing the progress of the venom moving and his recovery without treatment over days of time. the swelling and symtoms reduced within the 3rd day. that is the least leathal venom from any snake in america.
no way the bite is deadly
Yes, a dog can survive a copperhead bite, but it often depends on several factors such as the size of the dog, the location and severity of the bite, and how quickly veterinary care is received. While copperhead venom is less potent than that of other pit vipers, it can still cause significant pain, swelling, and potential complications. Prompt treatment, including antivenom and supportive care, is crucial for a better outcome. Always seek immediate veterinary assistance if a dog is bitten by a snake.
Symptoms of a copperhead snake bite may include pain, swelling, redness, and bruising at the site of the bite. In severe cases, symptoms can also include nausea, vomiting, weakness, and difficulty breathing. If bitten, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Treatment may involve cleaning the wound, applying a bandage, and receiving antivenom medication if necessary.
If you realize the bite fast enough, you can give your dog Benadryl (two tablets at first, then one every 3 hours - about 5 doses total), your large dog has a fighting chance. My German Shepherd has been bitten 3 times and survived. Small dogs do not have a change without treatment. I've never had to dose my medium sized dog, so I can not say one way or the other.
If you swallowed the ant 'whole' without chewing it (to kill it) it 'could' survive in your esophagus, and for a limited time in your stomach (until killed by the gastric acids). During this time it could bite you, yes.
Copperhead snakes are ambush predators, meaning they wait for prey to come near before striking. They have heat-sensing pits on their heads that help them detect warm-blooded prey. Once a suitable prey animal is within range, the copperhead strikes quickly and uses its venom to incapacitate the prey.
With treatment, prognosis is excellent for both types of rat-bite fever. Without treatment, the spirillary form usually resolves on its own, although it may take up to a year to do so
The only way it can - with a highly-venomous bite !
Without proper medical treatment it takes but one bite to kill a person.
It depends on the species of rattlesnake, where on the body you were bitten and how soon you receive proper medical treatment. Without proper treatment it would take a day or more to die. If the bite is from a species with a particularly strong venom, especially containing neurotoxins, death may come quite quickly.
Yep and they can cause death in humans. They say that a copperhead bite will normally not kill a healthy human being but it can cause death if the amount injected is lethal. At any rate it is a very painful bite.
