Has anybody here gotten the snakebite vaccine designed for the western diamondback rattlesnake to their dog?
It's not a substitute for antivenom, but it extends the time you've got to get to the vet if you're in the back country with your dog.
So...have any of you western folks done this?

Geez, how long IS that timeout for edits. The cost is anywhere from $15-30 from what I can tell. Are you trying to procure one?

Unfortunately, the vaccine isn't approved for any other snake but the western diamondback rattler, so it's a waste of time for us eastern folks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Red Rock Biologics is developing a variety of vaccines to provide the best protection against poisonous snakes for dogs in each part of the country. Ask your veterinarian which available vaccine formulation is best for your dog.
But it looks like you guys won't have to wait for long...

I was not aware there was a vaccine for snakebite. I have a PitBull that has been bitten twice. Once on the nose the second on front shoulder. Teeth marks were 1" apart on second bit. My vet did nothing. Dog had severe swelling and we gave her benadryl. We are not sure what type of snake but we live in Middle Georgia. Rattlers, Copperheads, Cotton Mouths. Yuk, I should move!!!!!
My true friends are the animals
