Title: Re: my pup got bite by something Post by: reatj81 on September 30, 2012, 06:55:31 pm I have pups get bit by copperheads regularly, sometime it's worse than others it depends on the amount of venom the snake gets in them. I usually just give them a penicillin shot and they will loose any fervor they have. In a couple of days they are back to normal.
