You can get the dogs vax'd for rattlesnake bites, yeah really. My dog is, it was 2 shots, I forget how long apart. Kinda spendy but much less than anti-venom treatments. I kinda remember around $500 for the vax shots, it was 7 yrs ago
Last year i got Bear his. And the booster. I’ll do it this year too. I only did Bear because that dude likes to go on long walks on the property. But I’m gonna fence him in a smaller area soon. I didn’t do Rex because he’s an old man and doesn’t go too far. Bigtime limp. Prob gonna get his now after this other little fucker right in front of the trailer.
Is the anti-venom something you can buy from an online vet store and store in fridge? Don't know the practicality of trying to do this, giving the shot, shelf life etc, but if you're a few hours away from even an emergency vet, it might buy you some additional time, especially with an older dog. If you've been with the same vet for a while maybe he can give you some honest advice about doing this.Last year i got Bear his. And the booster. I’ll do it this year too.

This is what I understand about it. It’s not guaranteed it saves their life, just buys them more time to get to the Vet, and treatment is usually allot faster and cheaper. But what if i’m not around in time to notice he got bit. I’m not sure i’d see the puncture marks either, the dog is black and lot’s of these baby rattlers
New Vet but I’m going to check into that. I read online it costs $800-$1000 per vial and often use multiple vials
I'm seeing $300 per 10ml vial online and thisNew Vet but I’m going to check into that. I read online it costs $800-$1000 per vial and often use multiple vials
gonna see if they will actually sell me some of that shit and if so how do you know how much to give.
If you know the rough dimensions and designing it is within my skill set, I’d be happy to make it for you.
Took 16 hours and they don’t fit
That is such a sweet offer thank you.If you know the rough dimensions and designing it is within my skill set, I’d be happy to make it for you.

Has anyone tried beneficial microbes with their cloner?
Gotta get rid of the food.
No. It’s pretty cleared out around the trailer. For some reason they like kicking up at the trailer and another part down by a creek about 100’ below the trailer. God knows where else they like it on my 10 acre property.Gotta get rid of the food.
Do you have any prime rodent habitat nearby that could be removed, like big brushpiles, old barns, etc?
We used to live on the edge of a protected "green space" so I used a metal mailbox with small side holes as a bait station. There was a board with 3 nails that held poison blocks and I would zip tie the door.
Blocks worked better than pellets because they stayed put on a long nail and were *much* more mold resistant.
I only had to clean & refill it once a month.
Since I used it long-term, I alternated between anticoagulant poison & another one that worked completely different.
If I recall, it was a chemical that gave the little fuckers cerebral edema.
We are having a bear wandering our property......a BIG bear by the size of the tracks
LOL that was the first thing that came to mind!
Having rattlers is common in the lower foothills. I guess they den up under the rocks there. I guess ground squirrels and gophers would be what they eat.Gotta get rid of the food.

I thought ground squirrels were immune to rattlesnake venom.
Oh shit dude. I got a big ass rock outcropping right above the trailer. And a lot of other places on the property including down by the creek.
