I had a 100Lb. pitbull (Female) that was bit by a Black Widow. She was lathargic and slept alot for about 3-5 to five days. I knew she was not feeling well but was not sure why, at first. I noticed a small open crater on her back about the third day. She was drinking alot of water and sleeping much. At the end of the week she was doing pretty good and was quite active. I was working about 10-12 hrs. a day at the time and was not very intuitive to what she was going through. I thought maybe she just had a bug. By the weekend she was fine. I washed her and cleaned the inside of her dog house. When I shook out her blanky, a crushed dead Black Widow fell out of it. I was floored by the fact that I was so oblivious to this. After that I became the Black Widow Terminator, at least in the back yard. I found out that her superior metabolism got her through the bite without perminent damage to her. I will say though, I have 2 young pits now, and I am constantly monitoring the yard for Widows. They are only 60lbs........ so why take a chance.

Black widows and what I assume you mean by "brown furry spider," brown recluses, can kill a 2 pound dog with one bite.

Can a black widow kill a spider?

Males are rarely seen and are relatively harmless. The female's bite is poisonous to humans and is sometimes fatal. This spider is not aggressive and bites humans only in defense when threatened. Yes. If they are not treated, they could lead to becoming comatose, seizures, paralysis or death. This is what I say. The two of you are both rigt but I have more to add the black widow can also lead to blindness

How long will it take for a black widow bite kill you?

This depends on your age, health and whether your are allergic to the venom. If you are not allergic, and are in good health, it can take up to 48hrs for the venom to kill you in normal conditions. They are actually not as dangerous as many think; the reason they are considered a dangerous spider is more the fact that they often live where humans do, and therefore people are often bitten. The last death from a redback bite was in 1979, due to development of antivenom. There are 14 deaths ever recorded.
